Just sold my ORIGINAL 1989 930 Turbo Cab...Loved the 5 speed......bought it in 1988 and sold my 1984 that i had. I loved the 5 speed.....picked it up at the factory and drove it to Salzburg .....3.5 hours..... had a blast....so fast....I would not by a Euro Spec because of all the potential modifications that had to be made.
.....now waiting for my 2016 GTS TARGA.....

I have a stock and pristine 89 and love it. I've never driven the 4 speed, but the 5 is very user friendly. The gears do not have to be changed too frequently as previously referenced. My friend followed me up the interstate in his four speed and was left behind from a standing start. He "lagged" way behind upon entering the interstate.
