there seems to be quite a bit of talk recently on various boards concerning the performance differences between 2.2 & 2.4 E & S cars.

2.4 E 165 bhp
2.4 S 190bhp
2.7 RS 210bhp

The general acceptance is a 2.4E will be quicker in a sprint to 100 than the 2.4S, I assume due to the extra low down torque of the E. Obviously a 2.7 RS will out sprint the E by quite a margin.

Does anyone have the torque info for these cars? I'm curious to see how the torque curve varies between the S & the RS.

I have always been under the impression the 2.4S & the 2.7RS motors are fundamentally the same except for the larger barrels & pistons & a modified MFI pump? How much difference to the torque curve does this make?

I Know Porsche driving is not all about the 0-60 or the 0-100 sprint, but low down torque would be usufull on the track too.
