The 911s weren?t really any lighter. Manual steering and substantial enough front rubber. But they sure were full of life. Run over a dime and the steering could tell you which side was up. The steering was the best part of a really ornery suspension. They were the definition of slow in, fast out. And, of course, never lift off mid bend.
Overall suspension wise, the best car of the era was the 944 in its many versions. Especially without the handling package, which made them corner faster, but took the fun out of the suspension. Man, was the 944 a sweetheart. Especially, the S.
