Good evening everyone.
I just decided to change my 996 with a 930 turbo 3.3.
I’ve started my research. I’ll do with calm, I have no hurry. I want to find the right car.
As you know, 3.3 version has been made from 1977 to 1989. It would be great to find an 1989 version with 5 gears, however which MY you think is the best one? I know every year of production they made some update to the model so I think last years are the best. You agree?
Thank you.

I think you're putting way too much thought in it. The best thing you can do is find the best 3.3 you can afford and buy it. If it's an 89, you've hit the jackpot. If possible you need to drive some air cooled 911s of the vintage you desire. They are a much different animal than the newer cars. There are nuances between model years of 3.3 but all are very similar and not worth worrying over. Good luck in your search but be sure you don't want power steering and all the nannies that your 996 has and don't forget a good PPI. 930s are not normally daily drivers but are a lot of fun.

Thank you for your answer.
I’m looking for a 930 infact not as daily driver, but to use on the weekends.
I already own a 1987 Ferrari Gts Turbo…I know exactly what you mean about power steering!!!

IMHO buy the best car. Year comes 2nd. I've been told '79 was the last year to have the exact same brakes as the 917 (I may have the wrong race car) but otherwise they all look the same to me lol (Flamesuit on!)

I own both the 4 speed and the 5 speed. 90% of the time I'm driving my 4 speed. A lot more fun to drive imo
