Any chance you can go drive a 930 somewhere?

You can find turbos for pretty good deals relative to a Carrera. I have to imagine a driver 930 at 65k is going to be cheaper than trying to mess around with turbo charging a 3.2 adding flares and doing all the business. Plus you’re pulling apart what sounds like an already very nice car.

The turbo comes out of the box with several advantages including better brakes, shorter trailing arms, wider wheels, etc.

The one disadvantage of the 930 I wish I could change is to have a 5 speed. I like doing backroads and I miss rowing through the gears. I feel like I’m often ringing it out in second or lugging around in 3rd. It’s possible I also don’t know how to drive the car.

Personally I’d say go with a 930, but test drive one or two and see what you think of the 4 speed.
