Check out what my buddy picked up yesterday

Point taken about Wikipedia, but for those who've been around, the 930 was a benchmark car for a LONG time, and as foggy as my memory is, all the auto raggs pegged it in the 4's. Also the Guinness book of world records used to list it as the fastest production vehicle. That's what I remember and believe.


For all intents and purposes, the 930 is a sub 5 sec. car PERIOD. Who wants to split hairs?


Driver, testing conditions, body changes, emissions, would certainly account for discrepencies of a few tenths.

ive got a better idea, tell your friend to take it to his local strip so he can get the 0-60 and the quarter. problem solved.

I'm not entirely sure but I would say that 0-60 times would fall more under a cars torque specs as opposed to its hp rating so maybe someone should factor those as well... i'm too lazy too..

There are multiple factors involved in any 0 to x# run other than just hp/torque... i.e. driver, elevation, temperatures, weight, tires...the list can probably go on and on.

Regardless, the highest has been 5.0 and the lowest 4.6. Actual is probably somewhere between them which is still sub 5 and pretty respectable in that time and age. Either way the 911's weren't drag cars so who cares what it's 0-60 time was. Even if it had been 10 secs, it's looks and other performance aspects for the day were killer. It's simply a desirable car..then and now

blue....in regards to the 964 bumpers, I would have to say it was for weight saving and/or maybe simple aethestics to updates it's look. Those old 911 bumper are pretty heavy...just getting rid of the huge 911 rear bumperettes probably saved 20-30 lbs in weight savings alone.

the other thing is its 2007. That car is close to or over 30 years old. Do you think it performs as good as it did 30 years ago? My guess would be 5 secs at the absolute fastest, with a really good driver. Which I agree is VERY fast for a car from that era. Thats if the car is in perfect running order and maybe even went through a restoration.
