RE: Porsche 911 Turbo (930): Driven
Discussion
Time for me to repost my 930 - far better looking that this one in the article
BTW - These wheels are Veloce GT1 wheels and that's a Ruf front spoiler
Red wheels and instruments - dreadful!!
and it's a hell of a car - tweaked engine, turbo, suspension, G50 gearbox. Pushes just over 400bhp. And yes it requires a lot of respect and skill but it's ever so rewarding

It's all about the unsprung weight.
Not when the first line of your post states yours is 'far better looking'!!!!!Beautiful car, but sorry, those rims are not to my taste- it would have to be original for me.
Fuchs are arguably the most iconic feature of a classic 911 and actually weigh less than 35Kg a set anyway.
Transmission: 4-speed manual ! Yes I remember those day's very well. IIRC the porsche 5 speeders of the time wouldn't cope with the torque. It probably adds to the laggy character of the engine as 1st was good for 55 mph or so...and the gaps between ratios were huge.
As for the shape,pure 911 porn.

Is the guy sat next to Charlie 'Mr' Sheen a Mika Hakkinen/Seb Vettel hybrid?I don't think £45k is that bad, they're only going to go one way in price and it isn't down!
The colour's nice though. Just not on that car.

Had to check the classifieds after that! Look at this (dealer alert ):

£20k and looks stunning!

I'd rather cut my balls off with a blunt rusty spoon than part with any money for that! They've ruined a '67 911, the wheels are fking awful, the GT3 badge looks pony (and off centre!), the interior looks like they've raided the clearance basket at Halfords and late model bumpers look ste on an early car.http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/p...

WOW love this what a proper 1980s Yuppie car. Who can resist a Porsche 911 Turbo in Guards Red, Red braces and a Filofax and I'd be straight in the 1980s. These cars are stunners and so much more interesting looking than all the modern cars. Who cars if the handling is "challenging" and prone to oversteer or is nicknamed the "widow maker". This all adds to the fun when u get it right :-)

If you ever saw the movie 'No Mans Land' with Charlie Sheen, they had a silver 930 with gold wheels, it looked tasty!!!
Fair play for remembering No Mans Land, I don't know anyone else who's seen it! I had a copy on VHS and last yr managed to track down a DVD copy, so I can enjoy 80's Porsche car chase indulgence to my hearts content taaffy said:
