I've logged the last 60k or so on my '88 900s that presently logs 334k miles. It was well-tended before I took custody and I've done my best to take care of the repairs needed to keep it in top running condition. It's served me well, better than any car I've ever owned, but...
It Is what It Is.
Just as the 16V S model WAY out-performs the 8V precursor, the '88 16V turbo that I recently acquired makes my NA S seem like a dog; the temptation to put the pedal to the floor through all gears is nearly irresistable.
Would you care to guess which of my '88s will likely see 400k miles?
Bottom line (IMHO), if you have a need for speed, save the money you want to spend on modding the S and look for a T that will serve your pleasure; otherwise spend the same (and probably less) money to maintain a car that will take you miles and years down the road.
My 2 cents... S
