IMO, the turbo lag is not a big deal on the street. I'm not often doing the stop-light drag race, though, so YMMV. I've found my (stock) 930 to be perfectly tractable, even in stop-and-go L.A. traffic (though the motor does get a bit hot). I've found the turbo (which kicks in around 3800 rpm) to be more of a massive but predictable shove in the back, as opposed to the on-off switch which some people describe.

Long-distance driving is a breeze. The AC sucks, but that's about it. The gearing of the transmission is really oriented towards autobahn speeds. In 4th gear (I have a 4-speed), the car doesn't seem to wake up until 90 mph.
