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. Drivibility
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.
