Cool

I really don't know what to tell you other than a 930 is more than a Porsche with a turbo on it.

They handle a little differently than a regular Porsche does. I have always felt that they understeered a lot. My car always felt heavy. At the time it was running, my 911E was also. I guess the comparison isn't really that fair.

There was some turbo lag, however it wasn't like I was trying to show the lag every time I accelerated through the gears. I really felt the rear lock up one time on some wet pavement. I wasn't going fast at all. I was just going around a corner on a normal city street. Just the same, the fact that the rear was steering me around the corner gave me the willies.

The later cars, '78 and later are geared a little lower so there is a little boost there a lot quicker and the transition isn't as pronounced.

I would buy one if like yours the price was right and it didn't have a lot of miles on it. If I ever run into one with a lot of miles however and is priced dirt cheap, I have a plan for it.

The car looks good for a '76. It doesn't seem to have a lot of miles on it. I would convert it to a european exhaust however as the very first thing to do. This would help on the boost/transition a lot.

Good luck,
David Duffield
