    Although I am 'a 928 guy' I like this 930 a lot! Epic car and it brings this analog solid Porsche feeling of the 80s

      It does. Coupe 911s of the 70s and 80s and 90s can feel like they're cast from a block of billet steel. (And as you might know, I'm a 928 guy too. Just bought another one last week - story coming soon)

    Love it. I had a pov pack 1977 911 in my youth and always lusted after one of these, thanks for sharing Stu

    Very nice example with tasteful modifications. Is it just me or do the 930s not quite have the nice sound of the NA models of the time? SC and 3.2 Carrera.

      You're quite right. The turbos don't wail at the top end. They're a bit more gruff.

    Apologies. I don’t want to put the effort in. What did it sell for? Whatever the price, it was worth it. Cheers

    Picky, but it's either 930 or 911 turbo.. never 930 turbo.

      Maybe a bit too picky. Porsche refers to it as 930 Turbo on its own website articles. Never say never

      @@inCARnationAustralia I'm surprised at that, the 930 IS the turbo.. and there's no non-turbo 930, so makes no sense.
      I have one, and it's quite frustrating when people ask if it has a turbo.

      @@simonp8698 It's sad how Porsche decided to use the word turbo just to denote a performance variant of a model. For example, the Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S = no turbo. The current base model Carrera coupe has twin turbos. As do the dedicated "911 Turbo" range. And the Macan is just as confusing. Four electric models (Macan, 4, 4S, Turbo) one of which is called a Turbo but has no turbo. And four petrol Macan models, all of which have turbos, but none of which is called a Turbo. (Macan, S, T, GTS). It's become a meaningless term

      @@inCARnationAustralia Hmm, I'd not about that.. 100% meaningless these days.
      And a bit of a shame, really. When I was a kid, most knew what the Porsche turbo was (no 924 turbo at the time).. was pretty special to see one, and in the days when you couldn't just buy a turbo sticker, from Halford's!
      Incidentally, a shame you didn't get to drive that one. Mine also has an Andial I/C, and other upgrades. Not crazy BHP, but a good chunk above standard.

      @@simonp8698 I'm sure yours is a beautiful car. As you probably know from the channel I had a 996TT myself that looked standard but had a lot of engine mods, boosted to 1.4 bar and about 650hp. So easy to drive yet it truly frightened most passengers and sometimes me. Savage. I eventually sold it during the C*vid boom in prices. And yes having owned quite a few old Porsches, mainly 928s, I still lust for an original 930 which I still consider the pinnacle of Porsche design, along with the 928. I do remember the 1970s and the significance of the first widow-maker 930 with its small iron brakes, light-switch boost and 4-speed box, and most notably with that gorgeous cursive "turbo" script on the boot. A friend bought a 924 Turbo and even the young me could see what a dilution of the badge that was.
