The 3 models

So what exactly is the difference between the 3 models? Not too concerned by the CS but coupe and Sport. I like the look of the sports seats with the deeper bolsters but most 968s seem not to have them, or am I looking in the wrong place?
Prices seem to be dipping still in line with 944s, good for buying not for selling.
Some of the interior colour schemes seem a bit iffy too!

Cheers

Hi David,
here are some details about the CS,
http://www.968uk.com/porsche-968-club-sport.htm
The Sport was produced on the same production line as the CS so is very similar in the chassis and suspension, front springs and rear torsion bars are 20mm lower than the Coupes.
The key difference between the CS and the Sport is that the Sport has the bigger wiring loom and battery for the electrics that have been put in, electric windows, tailgate release, central locking etc.
It also has the occasional rear seats, unlike the CS and it has the comfort front seats. Generally the Sport is a CS with the options added in (for the UK market only-1994).
Coupes usually have the standard leather or Sport seats.
Coupes have the airbag steering wheel, the CS and Sport have the CS steering wheel(no airbag).
Coupes have an analogue clock in the centre console and a digital temp gauge on the dashboard, CS and Sports have a digital clock on the dashboard with a stopwatch.
Coupes have standard sound proofing, Cs and Sports have reduced sound proofing.
Coupes have updated door cards, CS and Sport have the old 944 door cards.
Coupes have the 6 speaker stereo system, CS and Sports have 2 speakers.

Not definitive but it gives you an idea.[;)]

Cheers,
Stuart.
 
Thanks K300 (is that a whole heap better than K9?)
As you know I've asked this question in a few forums so its nice to find the same people!
Can't be doing with the horrid cloth seats in the sport so I guess I shall go for a coupe if a decent 944 turbo doesnt appear.
There are lots of coupes with the 3 spoke steering wheel it seems. Pre airbag maybe?
Don't fancy a smaller battery or alternator. It seems to take all the uoomph from a decent battery to spin these large engines when cold.
So I shall keep and eye out.
Thanks again

David

PS Anyone fancy a nice grey 944S?
