I test-drove a factory RUF 930 twin-turbo slant in Scottsdale around '84. It was a kid's H.S. graduation present and a year old. It was, as I recall the fastest car period. 0-60 was 3.75 secs and 1 second was Turbo lag. I drove a fairly new Mercedes so they presumed I was OK to buy it and fully trusted me to go out with the salesman. He drove it first, abused it, and me next. Both of us needed tickets on Scottsdale BLVD or whatever the road was. I got off the throttle at 135 or so. You could do that that back then. It was a mere $62,500 new with all that extra stuff. $45 or so base Turbo, I think. Stupidly fast.
That is false, only the new cars or some w09 cars are gutterless, could be spec’d per owner. Research what a BTR is, it’s not a body in white ruf vin number.
the 911 is the poor man's 928. the 928 won two Bonneville Salt Flats fasted production land car (1986 and 2020). the 928 is the only sports car to win European Car of the Year. the 928 is the biggest bang for the buck in exotic sports/poster cars as well as the entire Porsche classic car line up. Even Magnus Walker is quietly building his 928 collection. the 964 is 40/60 weighth distribution and fish tails - not the 50/50 weight distrubted 928. While a grand tourer, the mid/high torque 928 is a more complete car as the 911 doesn't has less horsepower than the 928 and even today, classic porsche enthusiasts do not value off the line speed even for the 911. and Porsche made a tenth of 928s than they made 911s. No disrepect - just calling balls and strikes. Its now or never for the 928.

Old air vents on the dashboard, this 930 base is not from 1984.
Why does it matter if it’s a “cold start”? Does that sound different?
Cold starts are usually louder and deeper sounding
Супер 👍👍
