I've owned eight P-cars, four 911's including my current '77 turbo. The turbos are actually quite doscile when driving at a relaxed pace. A little additional time might be needed before committing to pulling out in from of the on-coming cement truck, but it's not that bad. A few miles behind the wheel and the necessary anticipation becomes second nature. Lag is nearly a non-issue with any type of spirited driving or anything close to highway speeds. It's eager to flex it's muscle "now" at these speeds. Once the boost is all in, you've completely forgotten the relative off-boost lazyness and it all becomes worth while. These cars command a certain amount of respect, I've had other cars alond side that could probably take me, but they don't even try. I'll probably keep this one forever.
