Make sure you drive one for a while before you buy - they are very unique cars. Generally slow off the line, but with a blazing power increase when the boost comes on. Four speed transmissions also annoy some people. All I'm saying is make sure you know what you're buying.

An alternative is the Carrera Turbo Looks. These are the same as the 930s but with the normally aspirated engine (they also have the Turbo brakes and Turbo suspension). I'm a big fan of these cars.

Also, beware of extensively modified Turbo engines. That may significantly shorten engine life...
