Russ Posted 13June, 2013 Report Share Posted 13June, 2013 you'd assume they might use a spell check to sell a $80,000 car. Nice Ruf front spoiler though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vas Posted 13June, 2013 Report Share Posted 13June, 2013 Been for sale for a very long time. Must have EFI with that power. I dont like it, but it may be worth a look if that is what you want. If it does have 500hp (if) be prepaired for plenty of $ to keep it that way. If you want something hot look for something with around 400hp. Now I know what you want I will start looking. Oh, and 18in wheels on a 930 is a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Posted 14June, 2013 Report Share Posted 14June, 2013 To a degree I understand the appeal of a turbo..and this is evident in Australian Porsche turbo prices. Yes they are more powerful and not as many around, but a naturally aspirated engine is so much more pleasurable to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivid911 Posted 15June, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 15June, 2013 ....................but a naturally aspirated engine is so much more pleasurable to drive. Hi Norm, Just wondering what you mean by pleasurable? From this thread you'll probably see I don't have a lot of experience in Porsche cars, so just wondering what sort of differences there would be. I know there is a fairly nice 76 carrera http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1976/SSE-AD-2137111/?Cr=7 Looks well maintained, but it has a few miles on it. To turbo or not to turbo.... that is the question..? Personally I would prefer a turbo. Regs, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 15June, 2013 Report Share Posted 15June, 2013 a lot of the aircooled turbo's are a bit of a dog to drive scott, with tall gearing and lots of lag, and imo a bit less sharp with the widebody. different story if you are willing to chuck some money at it of course.

Russ Posted 15June, 2013 Report Share Posted 15June, 2013 i'd just like more power - weather NA or Turbo I don't mind. next car will be turbo though (thanks to uncle's thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its miles are excellent for the age of the car in my opinion. Less than 8,000km/year on average. If you are interested in it speak to Mike the owner, also a PFA member. He has a copy of the PPI I had done on the car a little over a month ago, ticks all the boxes I just found one closer without the roll cage and sports seats in it. Mike does have budget pricing to take it all out as return the car to original as I had him option that up for me when I was looking at buying it.

Regs, Scott I was faced with the same question a few months ago Scott. The budget played a large part for me. 80k min for a nice 930 vs 55-65k for a C3 or nice SC.

Norm Posted 15June, 2013 Report Share Posted 15June, 2013 Hi Norm, Just wondering what you mean by pleasurable? From this thread you'll probably see I don't have a lot of experience in Porsche cars, so just wondering what sort of differences there would be.

To turbo or not to turbo.... that is the question..? Personally I would prefer a turbo. Regs, Scott Hi Scott, By pleasurable, I mean they have a broader torque / power range, so you don't have to use huge revs to get the power. As a couple of the other members have said, turbos have lag, which means you have to rev them higher to get the power and below this they can be quite flat. I haven't driven an older Porsche turbo myself, but from everything that I've read, and because of the older technology, they have a low compression ratio; which means they will lack power before the boost comes on. When the boost does come on, well hang on! Having said that, they do make a lot of power and this is very appealing! I personally like good mid range power and something that I can use and have fun with on a day to day basis without having to keep the revs up. Modern day turbos are a different kettle of fish. With newer technology for ignition and injections systems and better designed cylinder heads, compression ratios are higher. Also the engine mapping and turbo design means lag has virtually been eliminated. I hope this helps. Norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977930 Posted 22August, 2013 Report Share Posted 22August, 2013 lag in early 930's ?????. its a misconception!!! (my opinon) Threshold of the turbo i think is more important, Drive the 930 on (threshold) and there is NO lag and NO wait time for the turbo to push your eyes back into their sockets.. 1) drive on threshold 2) put foot down 3) minus 0.0001 sec later boosting at 1.0bar 4) clean seat Lag? pfft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
