If I remember correctly, the 930's engine is set a couple of inches more to the rear than those of the naturally aspirated cars, further screwing up the f/r weight bias. It's why you have to be so careful to prevent off-throttle snap oversteer.

I've only driven early ones, but from what I recall, they come on boost quite suddenly. You really have to be careful with the things.

One final thing, in reference to this comment:

It is not happy until 15 to 20 minutes into the drive and once the oil gets warm it is ready to go.
That is so true. It is even true of my car, a very vanilla-flavored, completely stock SC. Once everything gets warmed up - tires, suspension, brakes, transmission oil, engine, steering rack - the thing just comes alive. In that respect, the cold/hot comparision, it's like two different cars.
