Ed & Perfectimage-
Ed is right on the money.
930 was an interesting car in its day, but C2 or C4 out does it in every way
(even in top speed w/o the turbo). If you compare the 930 to a
911 3.6 turbo, C4 turbo air cooled, or the new h2o version, forget it!
0-60 times are literally 2 seconds off compared to the C4 turbo's (2 full seconds, not 2/10th's),
and the wild turbo lag problems are no longer life threatening as they seemed
to be in the 930's (Porsche was sued over this, and lost). Now, the 935's are another story all together (700hp-850hp).
Porsche tiptronic? Forget it. Buy a Lexus SC430 instead (if you go that direction, go all the way).
My girlfriend drove a Boxter with tiptronic and said it was a "rich house wives yuppy car".
Same day we drove the 315 hp BMW M Coup (5 speed only) and loved it.
Tiptronics are also off by almost a second 0-60 on top of the slushy feel.
