Of all of my Porsches, the 930 ...
... was the one I liked the least.
A 1987 white cab with red interior.
Beautiful car, but horrible turbo lag and then uncontrollable power.
I only kept it 3 months and traded it for a 914-6.
That's one of the reasons why, to this day, I hateI'm not a fan of turbos.
I know they've come a long way and today's turbos are very progressive and controllable and produce tons of power, but...
... IMNSHO there's still no replacement for displacement.
I know Porsche, like most other car manufacturers, will go the small displacement -turbo'ed route in the future, so my last Boxster will probably be a 2012 one.
Happy Porsche-ing,
Pedro
