Welcome.

Form a S2 to a 68. Does it feel like the same car?

I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

Very similar but with 10% added to everything. My S2 had covered 150k miles and the 68 with only 57k recorded feels much tighter. I have just had the pinnion bearings in the gearbox changed and for the first time I have a Porsche that runs without a back end transmission noise.
cheers
Mick.

Welcome. I currently have an S2 and a 68. You'll find the S2 performs much better in the corners until you add sways and braces to the 968. I'm just to the point now where the 968 is the same as the unmodded S2. Konis and springs next year and I will pass the S2's handling.
