Default looking for resources on the 930 turbo

Hey guys, I am looking to buy a porsche over the next year or two and was wondering if you guys had any favorite resources on the 930 Turbo (books, buyers guides, websites, etc). I have been scanning around here for the info, but I admit that I tend to get lost with all of the eye candy around here...

I am currently flipping back and forth between a 997 c2s, 993 c2, 964 c2 or Turbo, and now my childhood dream of a 930 Turbo. Tough decisions, as I want a 997 for daily convenience, but just love the soul and personality of the older cars (eventually I will have a new and old car).

I am in Eastern Canada so would likley be importing.

Thanks for any help.

I sold my 997 to buy my 930. Not a daily driver though and neither was the 997.

How do you like the change? Would you do it again?

I wanted a 997 c2s initially, but driving a 73' 2002Tii for the summer sold me on the virtues of powerless steering, comparatively clunky shifting, minimal frills, and good old driver skill.

The 997 is more of a luxury car that be driven fast easily.

The 930 can be a hand full but is a lot more fun.

For an every day all around car I would have to go 997.
