As a relativey new first time owner to both Porsches and 930'S I agree with Nick's comments.nick-moss wrote:The Kiln Red one is GeorgeK's car, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it, as George doesn't scrimp on his cars.
Bert has said everything there is to say about the 3.3. It can be infuriatingly slow if you are pottering or chatting to your passenger and not keeping an eye open for overtaking opportunities or stunningly quick if you grab by the scruff of the neck and wring it out on a mountain road. I loved mine, took it to France twice where you have more opportunity to use the performance.
They can be very expensive to maintain if someone has scrimped in the past, but are bullet proof if looked after.
My first trip was with the family aboard 2000miles across Europe on every type of road you can think of, inc. gravelled alpine mountain pass. It just ate up the miles and fuel especially on the motorway, 125mph all day long if you can find enough road.
The 930 can be very docile when you want or when the wife won't let you and then on your own it can be a lot of fun as it takes a lot of practice to drive well.
When I go for a blast I drive on the same mountian roads Ferrari use for testing their road cars which as you would imagine is a very demanding collection of corners. On this sort of road you do need to concentrate and as said before a NA car would be quicker as you don't have to worry about power delivery so much.
The turbo lag is part of it's character and you have to be a little careful of not the car in front when you overtake but the car that is 3 cars ahead as they usually don't see you coming up so fast.
oh boy.i'm in love.
