Out running around in this today. My 1989 Turbo (factory) Slantnose. I think all of these turbos are an acquired taste (and I'm not certain I've acquired it, quite honestly) but they're sure fun to look at.

Of all the cars I had, I think I regret most my wife's '83 930. Belonged to a guy who finished 3rd at Le Mans in '79. Beast of a car. More fun than the RS.

All factory. Nice history behind that one:

I've had two, an 81 and 91. The 91 was a much better everyday car although I used both as such. The 81 was a monster and covered long distances with ease, lots of turbo lag.
The 91 was almost like a NA car and the feel of it was pretty close to an early car, should have kept it. The A/C was actually pretty good, the A/C on my 81 was really insufficient for Texas.
My wife drove both occasionally and liked them, she would never drive my 73.Comment

Several; the last two being a 993 and 94 3.6... and I'm reminded almost daily of how stupid I was for selling.
George, absolutely smitten by the olive leather but can certainly understand why you sold it. A car like that with no seat for a driver but one for a wife is no different than a living room loveseat.
BTW: Striking slant nose JP. Is that Stone Grey or Slate Grey Metallic?Last edited by Frank Beck; 04-29-2022, 10:03 AM.Comment

George, I remember that car from pictures you posted... sorry to hear you no longer have it. A side note that I have NOS interior pieces that match that color from my Emory buy out of a few years ago. Can't imagine too many cars with that color interior!, but I love it....
I've never owned a turbo, and may never, but I'd like to.Reminiscing the old days,.. only brings more regret...

I've owned my 84 Euro 930 Factory Slant since 2013 or so....originally imported by Scottsdale Porsche...all original GR on Cork with non slatted fenders. 111k miles and always driven to events, including Boca Parade, Werks Amelia Island etc....Just won Preservation class at EuroFest Natchez. Miss my 993TT that I owned for 12 years and sold a couple of years agoComment

I owned a 77 black/lt red for many years. They are fascinating cars technically, beautiful to look at, but just not as nice to drive day-to-day as NA 911s. It's a combination of many things, including weight bias, that four-speed transmission, and engine performance that can barely be enjoyed in normal driving. I drove mine cross country, alone, to experience some of its performance ability. As a cross country tourer, it's a very good 911. North Dakota was fun.
