The Porsche 930 Turbo wasn't exactly always the easiest car to drive. It was a combination of short wheelbase, rear-mounted engine and the turbo lag (specially on the first generation cars) that made the Porsche 930 Turbo quite a handful, even getting it the title of 'Widowmaker". Things did get better with the later iterations, specifically post-1978, when the engine was bored out to 3.3-litres instead of the 3.0-litre on the original 911 Turbo, while adding an air-to-air intercooler. This meant that while the car was better at not spinning off into the bushes, it was a lot, lot better at being a serious way to perform neck exercises... at least till the turbocharger kept boosting power till 6000rpm.

Great vid but too short, love the popping on the over run. Full marks to the guy driving the chase car. :thumb:
