ja ik heb die zien staan.
Heb je enig idee wat de waarde van zo'n auto zou moeten zijn?

The 930 are fickle beasts, but once set up, used regularly, overserviced to iron out any fatigue each year and stretched on loooooooooong motorway journeys, they are very reliable. The best memory was seeing my wife doing 240km/h on the french motorway to St Tropez and thinking "christ, she can shift that lorry around somewhat". I vmaxed it 165 mph on the german autobahn later that holiday and for the purpose of chasing faster german Audi RS's AMG mercs etc, it was brilliant.



But a turbo is wasted in the UK with these small A roads and congested motorways. You either wring its neck (1st does 65mph, 2nd 95mph, 3rd 130 mph, 4th the rest) and use 1st and 2nd and shift, or you drive off boost and any normally aspirated 911 will beat you. Either/or is the mantra with the turbo and I got tired of it.

Best regards,

but the principle of "needing to have a turbo on the boil or nothing happens" is a bit illustrated by this table.


To illustrate it with a real life example: '83 turbo 3.3 vs '77 carrera 3, driving shotgun on B roads 30 to *caugh* and dual carriageways 30 to *caugh*



C3: 2nd gear, on cam at 4200rpm at 50mph, accelerate up to 6300rpm, shift into 3rd, come on cam and you are into the illegal territory if you are not careful.

Engine is punchy, ready, hangs on the gas etc.

Turbo 3.3: at 50mph you are either making loads of noise in 1st, or are off boost at 2200 rpm and need to be near 65mph for the boost to come in. The C3 has meanwhile shifted into 3rd, is long gone with its 1090kgs (vs 1378kgs of the 3.3) and the turbo is left panting.

Very very annoying. It really took the crust of turbo ownership for me.

But on the motorway in Germany, driving between 100 and 160 mph (so 160km/h to 250km/h) meaning near the redline in 2nd, 3rd and shifting into top: that's awesome.
VW kombi comes into the fast lane? No problem: nose against windscreen (930 brakes), shift into 2nd at 65mph, let it come on boost and progress rapidly to 95 mph, shift into 3rd, redline, etc. Repeat at will.

The 930 really stood out with its 930 brakes, the turbo tie rods and the 7 and 9 x 16 fuchs on Conti sport contacts, and in combination with bilsteins and well set up made for one of the most predictable, comfortable, reliable and steady 911 experiences I ever had.

But I am more in the UK than over there, so.... C3 it is. Put a C3 or non-turbo shaped car on Billies, corner weighted, with turbo tie rods and 7 and 8 x 15 fuchs with a light tire such as a Michelin Pilot Sport Cups and YOU ARE FLYING.

Nog een vraagje over een Carrera 3.0 targa deze heeft als bouwjaar 1975. Kan dat wel. zijn er Crrera's 3.0 gebouwd in dat jaar?
zie er mooi uit maar klop het wel?

Hoe of waar kan je dan checken of het de originele motor is die bij die auto hoort. Dus matching nummer?
