turbogrill Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hi The vpi table lists the 924s as 350pts and the 946(924s) as 400pts? Very confused, what is a 946?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very confused, what is a 946?? didn't know there was such a thing as "946". could that be a typo for 964? if so, that's a 911 not a 924S edit to add: 400 pts for a 964 is a GBU level hookup....#justsayin.....

turbogrill Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Haha that would be awesome. 400 pts seems a little high from a turd from the 80s, it's the same as the NC The thing is a would want to something into a 944 and dominate but the VPI doesn't allow me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvumtnbkr Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think that might be a chassis code? Like 951 is the 944 turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimS Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) 924s was the model just before the 944. Very similar except flared fenders I believe. 944 engine, brakes, transmission, running gear and a bit lighter. 944 Porsche experts could confirm chassis code. In a previous life we raced an early 944 against a couple 924s in the POC. The well driven 924s could beat good 944 drivers Edited December 16, 2020 by TimS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karman1970 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 924S is a 924 body with a 944 engine and some other 944 parts. 946 is the chassis code. Whoever proof read the VPI table update missed it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_924 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimS Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Probably no worries of anyone running a 964 as these are very expensive and sought after. If you have one setup to race it likely has way to many upgrades to be under 500pts. A money no object build could produce a very quick race car. Starting with a $50k donor is tough.

The 924s was sort of a continuation car of the 924, but with 944 operating gear. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Coan-Burningham Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 According to the ultra reliable Wikipedia a 946 would be a left hand drive 924s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_type_numbers Just remember: "I read it on the internet so it has to be true" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
