Thanks Guys. I've been collecting '65 911s, early Turbo Carreras & Turbos for a long time .... back when you couldn't give away a '76 or '77 Turbo Carrera

Tough question, I guess my analagy would be with Fighter jets.

930 = the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II

GT3/RS = the McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle

Both are/were frontline fighters and both built by the same company and as with the two Porsches, are separated by +/- two decades. Both fighters & Porsches are incredible in their are right and both stand on their own merits BUT it isn't fair or logical to compare technology & evolution separated by two decades.

I can pound my 500hp RS4.0 then go jump right into my 130hp '65 911 and have just as much fun scaring the crap out of myself on 4.5in.wide wheels.

I love'em all ....... therein lies the problem ..... take up heroin, it's cheaper !

I'm a former F-15E WSO (had back surgery, so now an AC-130U FCO). The Strike Eagle is by far the most capable multi-role day/night all-weather strike aircraft in the world. But it truly is the training and discipline by all Air Force aircrew (and all military members) that puts our great nation at the forefront in military might.

I'd never give up my experiences in the airplane, but I gotta say that I'm pretty excited about owning a 930 (or any 911 Turbo for that matter)! Going to look at a '77 930 this morning...

V/R,
Matt
