Is the 2.5 liter engine the only difference between the 924 and 924S? Many differences besides the engine. The "S" stood for Sport and is a typical Porsche designation for an upgraded model: 944 v 944S, Carrera v Carrera S, Cayman v Cayman S, etc. The 924S first came to the U.S. in 1987 (1986 in rest of the world) and was basically a 944 with a 924 body. The 924S had 944 mechanical parts (engine, trans, suspension, vented brakes) with the 924 body and older interior. The 1988 924S had a HP bump over the 1987 (160 v 150). From 1976-1982, the "base" 924 had the 2-liter Audi engine, 4-spd (later 5-spd) trans, disk frt/drum rear brakes (later solid disks all around). The base 924 was an OK car for the day, but the 1986-1988 924S, with the 944 running gear, was a much better vehicle. And while you're right about the 2.5 liter motor being slanted to fit, the "S" stood for Sport. The reason NADA is so much higher is that you basically have a normally-aspirated, 8-valve 944 wearing a 924 suit. Compared to the 1986-1988 base 8-valve 944's, the 924S was actually a faster (lighter) car. It could run with the 16-valve 944S (190hp) but fell far behind the 944 Turbos. Good luck w/ the "S". I had an 88 924S set up for track & autocross. They're popular cars among the PCA water-pumper set, you should do well. Just remember, even though they're mechanically the same as a 944, they're still 20+ year-old cars...... Many people are looking for clean cars they can modify for the track. There are very few 924's that are truly collectible. Find a 1980-1981 924 Carrera GT, and now you have something, only 400 built. A clean '77 Martini or '88 LeMans are about the most collectible "mass" market 924's. Best of luck on both cars. Hope you do well.
