The 930 may very well have more torque (just speaking below 2500 rpm), but the taller gearing and heavier weight pretty much negate that when taking off from a stop light.

I have owner my SC for almost 20 years, and have a bit of seat time in 930's. I personally don't think the 930 is a good driver, and just plain sucks in autox. I'm not saying its impossible as a daily car, but it does take some seat time, and trying to drive fast in the rain would be a bad thing. I think the service issues come from the fact the motor is hot all the time, and you have to keep the revs 3k all the time. I was just driving one last week down the frwy and it never seen 3k in forth gear. I also wouldn't just hand the keys to a 930 over to just any old smuck. I think there was a good reason they stopped importing them to the US for many years.

OtOh: the 965 (964 turbo) is much more drivable and would be my choice if I had to drive one every day. But it can still get you into trouble if your not on the ball.
