They're tricky in the turns, you enter a turn you hope the engines torque will bring the car back around and keep it from going off the track or hitting something.
The 930 Turbo isn't exactly a trouble free car. My best friend drives one, and he actually uses a checklist before he takes it out.
He's had a 1975 Dino(ferrari) 308 GT4 as well, which was pretty much trouble free(Though that's not normal either).
This car is not what you buy when you want a flawless car.
Nevertheless, I think it's pretty much the best and coolest porsche ever made. You feel like you're taming a beast.. The huge turbo lag gives it even more character
kaity; that's true about the Turbo lag, thats why the earlier models had 4 speeds, to keep it closer to the power point when the turbo kicks in. But, when the turbo is on, it is ON !
@kaityushi A checklist? I have owned 5. On my fifth one now. Its not an airplane. I can assure you he does not need a checklist to run his car - unless he has not taken care of it and it has MANY maintanance problems. Very reliable cars. Drive them across the Country if you want.
I just picked up a 88 Targa Turbo. Black on black, 47k miles. I still can't beleive it. The car is FAST and handles very well although there seems to be a little bit of flex on fast turns. None the less the car is sick! It is a welcome addition to my 97 Turbo, 79 Turbo, and 02 Turbo. AS WELL AS A 08 M5 and a 99 360 modena. All the cars have unique qualities and all are awesome in their own way. ....
get a strut tower brace, that will help with the flex.
a nice set of coilovers also makes a huuuuge difference.
on my dads ride, you could jack up the right rear and both tires would come off the ground and vice versa after some minor bracing was installed.
the 930s are classic and have a completely different feel to them. the new porsche's/ferraris/bimmers are still awesome, but they lack that really raw visceral feel the older ones had.
@maaximus5 dude thast weak, in my garage ive got a lamborghini, a 7 ferraris, 5 porsches, 2 rolls royce, a bugatti, 2 helicoptors, and 4 army hummers, ur car collection is weak mann compared to mine....
Dad got a little thrill. The 3.3L Turbo can make you do stupid things, ( I've been there '88 owner) Beautiful car you have there, mine's black too, I love your wheels.
my dad picked this up in like 1997 or so after he bent the valves in his grey market euro BMW M6. it was purchased from Ron Shue Imports of charlotte NC, and was recently sold back to Ron Shue, in a sort of trade deal for a supercharged Cl55 AMG. its still in charlotte, NC, i believe, and it will always be a bad ass car. i'm glad i took this video when i did.
964 is late 88 and up cars and those are narrow bodys the 965 is the turbo body style and it doesnt have the bumperettes in the back yes the rear spoiler is the same as is the motor and most of the car until its last year being with the revised 3.6 turbo and the aero mirrors,unless you own a porsche dont speak
right on the money,besides the fact a 964 was a direct replacement of the 911 by putting the bulky front bumpers on it ,but that is a 930 ,you do know youre porsches , f*n morons and their stupid information
I hate to piss on your B.B.Que. Porsche did designate this '89 model a "930" but they only produced it for 1/2 a year. They tried to "domesticate" the brute 930 by giving it the 5 speed tranny of the 3.2 Carerra. It didn't work. Porsche aborted the Idea, and dropped the 930 designation from the "New" model. '88 was the last, true, 4 speed 930 made.
the wheels are HRE, cant remember the model though. the porsche birth certificate says this car was produced by special order 6 months after production officially ended, making it one of the last 930's ever produced, kinda cool :)
close, 930 is the turbo from '74 to '89. but you are much more correct than deeanj who is a complete tool and doesn't know shit. also has no clue how to type i can barely read what he put down!
Nice video, although it makes me cringe. As a Porsche mechanic, revving your engine like that (with no load) will do very, very bad things to it. It's ok to rev, but only short bursts, not prolonged....it needs to have a load on it.
eh, the 930 was just the chassis designation of the 1st generation of porsche turbos. 930's were made i think 1973 to 1989. hehe, with that said, this particular car was finished 6 months after official production ended. its a 930s (factory special).
is this car for sale?

I like Italian cars like alfas and ferraris but if you wanna live with it,
get a 930 like yours and then youll have peace of mind and you can go anywhere in it and it;ll start and run flawless,

I'd recommend keeping it under 3500, for just peak revs. Load versus no Load is where the difference lies.
