Owners Notes:
How do YOU spell decadent?
The Slant Nose option cost alone more than my first and second house combined. Those guys in Stuttgart sure do get paid well. We have heard that "chicks dig it," unfortunately we have been unable to confirm that firsthand here at the Taj. After "Moby Dick's" incredible racing success, Porsche® decided to pay the light bill with the 930 S. Some prefer the '89 model to the '88 because of the lighter clutch and five speed.

Not us at the Taj. We love well proportioned calf muscles. It's a blast to get from 0 - 60 mph in second gear. By the way, 0-100 mph is in third gear with pedal left. Porsche® built about 200 of these in various configurations with less than half of those residing here on God's side of the pond. We're not saying it's rare, but with just 13,000 original miles, it is, however, more than "pink in the middle."
