911S vs 930 my test...

[Tomy]

I copy my thread form 930 forum as here we more often...
As I bought 930 4 months ago in winter and didn't drive my cars till now I was exiting to wait for good wether. But from last 4-5 days is buetiful spring so I drive my 911S (1970) and 930 (1987). I was wondering how it compare in my road test.
I like to give you some impression.

1.Acceleration

So as 930 is 300 hp (still stock) and my 911S is 200 hp (converted to Weber) I should expected than 930 is other world and ... it is. But to be onest 911S accelerate as fast as I kick floor and 930 is till 2000 rpm lazsy later is better. Early 911s is lighter so it is goal.
But 930 with boost hole is funny If I like to start fast I start with ca. 2000 rpm than lose clutch and than I have faster start then 911S. What is better ? It is question what you like.
Later 930 kill everything so overall 1:0 for 930 but still 911S is fun.

1.1. Acceleration sound

Here is my 911S twice loud as 930 and all sounds is like from super sport car (loud..)
So acceleration sound 1:0 for 911S

2. Tranny

No question much better is 915 from 930 even with only 4 gears. Pls still remember then I compare my cars - it means that not all 930 and 911S could be the same
1:0 for 930

3.MPG

Question what is to compare ? 930 is as thirsdy as 2 911S so
1:0 for 911S

4.Noise

And here I am so suprise - 930 is as quiet as I will never expected
1:0 for 930

5. Handling

Here is my question why my 911S is handling so good ? First I rebuild front and rear suspension with elephant reacing parts, have 215 15" tire and it handling like new car. I drive today both so 911S is perfect. I talking of overall handling and of course in the same speed both cars are good but 911S is more direct (my feeling) I should see what is with my 930 but at first look all suspension parts looks pretty good so damm 930 should handling better but till now :
1:0 for 911S in normal speed
1:1 with over 100 mph

6. Drive ability

No question 930 is more everyday car (is modern : in my case 17 years junger)

1:0 for 930

7. Design

For me 1:1 ( I never expected than 930 is as good as early long hood but it is)

more opinion will follow, I like to have your opinion too it could be damm interesting.
