912 vs. 944 Turbo vs. 930? Your input sought?, Contemplating another option-away from -6; your thoughts? Options

[R8CERX]

So…I am contemplating the next purchase… not in a rush.. the right deal at the right time…. heck…I may even go for a 1974 GTV Alfa Romeo--a whole different story!

I love the following three models:

All 912 coupe models (Ideally, Red, Silver, light blue, or the weird mustard color)
The 1989 930 (turbo) (Ideally Silver, Red, black)
The 1989 944 Turbo (S) (Ideally Red, Silver, Yellow)

Of course, they are all in different price ranges… so my interest is to get one of the above for fun, daily/weekend driver/ semi restored (I dont want to work on the cars too much aside from regular maintenance or basic work) and I do believe the wife will want to drive it more than the -6.

As I know how critical this group is, I would love to hear the pros/cons on the above models.

I pretty much have my mind made up, but want to check with the peanut gallery to see if I am in the right path… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

If you are aware of a car for sale within the above types, I welcome also the lead--PM me or email me.

If you've never driven a turbo, either 951 or 930, and you're considering the 912, don't compare them. Once you feel the rush and the sounds of boost, it'll be hard to get out of your head. That being said, the 930 will be the most visceral driving experience out there. You'll either be hooked for life or it will scare the crap out of you (could be both).

I've had my 930 for almost 10 years, it's horrifically expensive, one because of addictive mods (more boost = FUN), two to maintain R&R an almost 40 year old car. I've spent a lot of time on the 930 boards on PP, and there is a saying, you're either a 930 guy, or you're not, decide what you are and jump in with both feet!
