I should share the reasoning behind this posting. You see... My wife and I are expecting twins in October and the sensible side in me knows that I needed to get rid of one of the cars. The first, my 1982 930 or a 2007 Z51 Corvette. I love them both, but after spending some time driving the two and countless hours thinking about this, I chose the 930! My drive yesterday only confirmed my decision. So the vette has to go and the 930 stays! I did get the ok to get a Z06 or even a ZR1 down the road so it's not a total loss Drive safe everyone!!!!

Excellent choice and you're going to bring your kid up right with them understanding the passion and downright visceral experience an aircooled turbo allows for.

We have to ensure the younger generations understand just what the 930 meant to Porsche and the heritage behind the greatest turbo iteration ever...the 9xx turbo.

Default ANother boring video....

I've got this cheap action video camera that I typically mount to the handlebars on my bike, so did this first-ever mount to the passenger seat in my 930. Very poor jerky mount, poor sound, but who cares. I was being relatively safe and sane until turning around to come back home. Shut her down at 120 so I could turn the camera off.
Anyway, for what it's worth enjoy. Too damn long...sorry.
