It can also depend on your driving style and the kind of roads you have available to you. Tight twisty roads staying naturally aspirated will be the better choice as the car is more controllable and more enjoyable. If the roads are a little more open with long flowing curves or a lot of highway driving the turbo wins hands down. I do a lot of spirited driving with a couple of my friends who have a 3.0 SC and a 3.2 Carrera. On most of the loops we frequent their cars are much faster until the straights where the turbo's power comes on and I shorten the gap very quickly. The sound of the turbo spooling and the jump to light speed never fails to put a smile on my face. I'd like to get either a SC or a 3.2 for myself at some point to make a proper back road burner. I do plan to do some suspension upgrades this spring and that may help tame the 930 a bit more but I still think a naturally aspirated car would be faster for our roads where I live.
