Long time ago i owned a Porsche 930 Turbo.
A real beast of the time. It was a "real car";
- No power steering
- No ABS
- No Traction control
- No anti slip and slide systems
- 4 gear MT
- Extreme turbo lag
Was it fast, yes. The average driver could go fast straight ahead, an expert was required to drive it fast on a track.
Was it fun? Yes, at the time. You could drive it hours really hard and still it was imperturbable.
Would I want one today? Maybe, for sunny Sundays once in a while. But it would be as a nostalgic trip. It is an icon. And it still is pretty fast.
But otherwise it is hopelessly outdated.
And all those "features" it had, including the 4 gear MT, I don't miss them at all.
