The 968 Turbo CS was a fantastic car... 300-305 hp, I think just under 3,000lbs. Extremely well balanced. Not sure how many were available for ROW markets - maybe 100?

The racing version, the 968 Turbo RS (of which only 4 were made) are even more impressive... 350-400hp (depending on boost/regulations) and that same great handling balance. Bruce Corwin of NER PCA had one of the 4.. Bought it from a VW dealer in Germany after its racing career was over. Heard he paid "mid 40K".. for a 1 of 4 ever made factory race car! Insane.. I know he sold it.. for more than twice what he paid. Anyway.. that car was fast.. equally as fast as 993 Cup cars.

"Best" Porsche made? Waaaayy too subjective a comment. A great car? absolutely.
