1982 Porsche 930 Turbo Slant Nose - One Take

[@basic.sportscar]

I'm the owner. Bummed to have taken anything away from the review by not being enthusiastic enough. I am proud to be able to own one of the iconic cars of my youth, one at the top of my Dream Car list, but the adage "never meet your heroes" rings true for here. I'm a car guy through and through and spend all of my free time modifying, showing, and racing cars. My personality comes out more in the garage or on the race track than on camera. For those who wouldn't want to have a beer with me, first round is on me if you bump into me at the bar!

[@cbrooks2767]

I wouldn't worry about it. Some people just like being vindictive from their mom's basement. Now keep driving that beautiful machine!

[@johanntooquois8162]

I can't believe the negative attacks on the owner. Car guys, any car guys should appreciate a great video about an awesome and rare example. Kudos to the owner for a gentleman's and true officianado's response. I would gladly enjoy a beer and car talk with Rob, even without the means to own such a classic iconic sports car. JT

[@basic.sportscar]

Right on, Jonathan! Hit me up anytime you're in LA and we can talk cars and go for a canyon run in a rare and awesome car.

[@maicol67]

Rob I'm a little late on this comment, just watched the vid, we share the same teenage Porsche dreams and Porsche posters on walls. 1 day I hope to bring it to life as you did. Wish you the best of luck with this and any dream car especially Porsche and thanks for sharing.

[@69bock69]

very funny comments, cool car dude

[@cameronbraverman8969]

People are mad that this guy is a little monotone, but he was such a knowledgeable and pleasant guest with an amazing car. Great One Take!

[@laowhy86]

Looks fricken amazing to me. What a fantastic looking car.

[@mattterrain7874]

[@dstein111]

If Porsche says it’s a slant nose it’s a slant nose. Debate over

[@CaptTurbo]

As the owner of a 1987 factory slant nose 930 cabriolet in triple black, I really enjoyed this little video. Thanks.

[@exoticarauto]

I sold my factory 87 grand prix white slant 930 about 4 years ago for 45k. Just saw the same car go across the block the other day at 140k. Ready to jump off the bridge over that car.

[@OnceIHadAPony]

You made 45k man xD

[@jasonren666]

who knew the market was gonna go this crazy and you still made some good money imo

[@Archontechnica]

I would never sell a factory 930 slant nose.

[@PKmode]

Yep. I almost bought a 930 Trubo for $33.5K about 6 years ago.

[@longboardguy]

Could of done the same with R32 GTR Skylines from Japan. Back in the day around. 06/07' you could get them in Canada for 7-10 grand. Now US customers are buying them for no less then 25k plus wow should have bought 3 sell two of them lol.

[@SergeantMoetz]

One of the best Porsches on the show to date, awesome spec and colour combination. A real treat Matt!

[@qikqbn77]

wow! That is the nicest looking original interior I have seen on a 35 year old car! Great find and who ever owned it before was very meticulous in taking care of that beauty. Such a great piece of Porsche history. One of the great icons of the 1980s. thanks for sharing your car with us!

[@koollee]

Lol . I doubt youll ever see one of these abused inside or out unless it was wrecked

[@bicyclist2]

I love the Porsche 930's. Its Absolutely beautiful! I have an uncle in Santa Barbra with a 911 SC Targa. Thanks.

[@pyro4life64]

that has always been a dream car of mine, I can remember looking at a brand new one at a dealer my uncle worked at back in the late 80's. Ever since its never left my memory and want list.

[@YasumotoUS]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful 80s machine. That engine sounded great and I love the interior / exterior color combo.

[@agemoets69]

awesome car. my father had a '77 turbo carrera and will always be my favorite car. the exhaust note was a sound i will always cherish.

[@vwjetta4138]

Lucky bastard. I love the Turbo Carreras.

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

It's not often Matt offers to buy a car from someone, that's how you know it's good. :)

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

Especially when you hear him make THAT noise off 7:58 hearing its Eurospec horsepower.

[@dbnpoldermans4120]

I remember this car from smokey and the bandit or cannonball run. So awesome, never seen one in person. I bet for many car enthusiasts this was the first time they ever saw it. This car is priceless. Congrats for the owner, this will rise in value for sure. I would never sell it. Even if you're 70 you'll still be able to enjoy this.

[@JDMEVOVIGSR]

Awesome video, and car. My old man owned a 1980 930 turbo 3.3L (not slant nosed) in exactly the same colour albeit with green leather interior from new. Had some minor mods that helped it net 350-360hp. The only other way you could experience similar 'throw you back in your seat' acceleration back in those days was in a jet airplane taking off. Was amazing back in the day, but nothing special in this day in age. I believe the 4 speed was retained in the 930 turbo as the 5 speed couldn't reliably handle the torque.

[@TheRealKalEll]

LOVE how this guy always gooses it after the turn-around point, on CHALKY GRAVEL!!!! , then continues to corner like he's on a track...IN OTHER PEOPLE'S CARS, LOL. Love this guy 🍻

[@enlightenedidiot9552]

That is quite possibly the coolest 911 ever produced. What a classic badass car.

[@ChaosphereIX]

I usually complain that lately this channel is TheSmokingPorsche, but for a 930 Turbo Slantnose I will make an exception. If I was to have one Porsche, it would probably be this one.

[@BigLukeyBoi]

ChaosphereIX it's not his fault they're so good to drive

[@ChaosphereIX]

not disputing that, the Porsche I drove was a great drive...but it is monotonous to see the same car being reviewed repeatedly. Yes, I know they are different from gen to gen in small ways...but still basically the same damn car. Also, Porsche's are so flawlessly good, they are not really exciting anyways...just perfectly competent.

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

Honestly... I'm not a huge Porsche fan, but I'd totally take a bunch of 911s instead of a flood of WRXes and Evos and shit.

[@ChaosphereIX]

I do agree Troggie. But there are hundreds of sports cars built in history, variety is good.

[@aNuCkZz]

Well it’s safe to say Matt is very biased towards Porsche cars.

[@chrismunsey3185]

The only Porsche I’ve ever driven was a black 82 Turbo Slope just like this one. It was in the late 90’s but I will never forget that experience.👌🏽

[@VAX1970]

The guy who sold this on Craig's List is crying right now

[@alphazoomii9408]

ROTFL.... He was already crying as it left his driveway though.

[@judgedread-q4t]

From the little we saw of it, amazing condition for a 35 year old Porsche, most are pretty well ragged by that age. Nice one Matt!

[@robert23497]

Awesome car. I like the old school slant nose porsches just as good as the regular 911s. Either is as good as the other. I remember when dupont registry had dozens and dozens of them for sale. Thanks for bringing me back in time.

[@MacktasticSlick_]

Don't even give a shit that this channel is slowly becoming "TheSmokingPorsche" this is dope as fuck

[@koollee]

Im glad that owner soon opened up in this video.. he had such a skeptical look on his face.. but i guess anyone would, letting someone drive their special car, and hoping they wont act a fool in it lol. Love those slants.. i got a 996 and regret selling the first one i had which was roller status. I couldve done all kinds of customizations to it

[@Jorge-Tamacas]

Great car. All the 930 turbos had the 4-speed gearbox until '88. Porsche used 5-speed from '89 until '94 (930, 964). Anyway, great video, great car

[@777jones]

I, not even a big Porsche 911 guy but fuck yes, ohhhhh. Fuuuuck yes

[@stephenoverstreet9898]

Beautiful looking, beautiful sounding, beautifully-constructed vault of a German machine. I SOOO wish I had some coin...

[@superspecky4eyes]

Truly a work of art. Drop dead gorgeous. Why don't they make cars that look that good anymore?

[@revengefullobster4524]

Always loved the slant nosed 911's. Nice car and nice review.

[@GNXperimental]

I remember back in the 80's as a kid slant noses being all the hype.

[@aaron5222]

The car is really cool. Everyone is always hard on the owner. He was super honest about his feelings with the car .

[@brandonblair6868]

The weirdo car selection recently has been excellent. Bravo

[@cjaybillions]

You know Matt, you have driven some truly special cars man. Thank you for sharing your experiences and allowing me to see these rare cars in the palm of my hand. Thanks for all that you’ve done, and I look forward to your new content on the way. You are truly appreciated! @smokingtire

I really like the slant nose Porsches, thanks Matt!

[@oibal60]

I've a 1996 993 C2 and YOUR car is gorgeous!

[@AwesomeAlex808]

By far my most favorite Porsche of all time

[@michaelhughes3302]

Heads up Matt. This car has almost certainly been given a factory conversation. Check out the screen shot at 33 seconds. It has the correct but wonky looking elongated front profile. Notice how much of the plastic shroud between the hood and bumper are exposed. Most aftermarket examples tried to minimize this, making the car slightly shorter and arguably much better proportioned. The real test with this particular example would actually be the rear fender slats. They were made of wood from the factory, believe it or not. All the best in 2018 pal. Cheers, Michael.

[@basic.sportscar]

Fender slats are indeed wood.

[@venom5809]

[@DamianSupra]

We need a supra one take, not a single turbo straight line monster, but a proper balanced supra...maybe stock!

[@GNXperimental]

Iceman7 BPU

[@Packrus]

Supras can't handle

[@I_dont_read_responses]

Packrus Supra's are very capable GT handlers, most are simply not properly setup. The MKIV put down .98G on a skidpad on '93 tire technology and had a stopping distance from 70-0 in 158ft and from 60 in 112, something that wasn't beaten until Carrera GT. Definitely more than capable when properly setup in the right hands.

[@leanlifter1]

Supra lol thats just a boy toy ricer rocket with no class. Shiiit !

[@I_dont_read_responses]

+leanlifter1 The irony of your ignorant uneducated post and "class" is on another level.

[@bobbybandz9194]

Always gonna be some idiot that will argue with factory authenticated work.

[@RamonValdez2014]

The most beautiful 911 ever made. The designer was either some German dude trying to get a job at Pininfarina or some disgruntled expat Italian working in Stuttgart.

[@Jasontyo]

I must start by saying I have never driven a 930. I feel though, that the point of the 4 speed was actually to feel the lag,really feel the boost build. Maybe I'm crazy and just want a 4sp 930

[@lloydprock8873]

One of the best looking cars ever!

[@TheBTRGarage]

That is a slick looking Porsche!

[@JEdmund81]

That's a good looking slant nose! Not normally a fan, but it sure looks nice here.

[@jabbabbabba]

Loved these since I first saw one.

[@TheRealKalEll]

ALWAYS entertaining, this guy. Thanx 4 the vids!!!!!!!

[@dezinetech1000]

Beautiful car. One of my dream cars as well. Bro, you got an authentication letter from Porsche... case closed. Just enjoy the car and don’t worry about nonsense. You got a beautiful 930 slant nose.

[@hemihead001]

Best looking Porsches were the Slantnoses . I was 18 in 1982 and always wanted one .

[@meteormedia7021]

The 1978 930 3.3 is my absolute dream car

[@shaunmcinnis1960]

Dear god, before I die I want one of these. This is a dream car

[@quintinkrivacek9800]

Glad this guy takes it out into the wild. Sadly most slantnose's are probably being snatched up and stored, likely even the "fake" ones.

[@koollee]

If a "fake one" is done right, and modded to higher performance than an original.. for the right price i want that.

[@A861967]

Great car .. like all vintage cars, you drive and lovethem as they deserve it 😊 modern cars offer more performance but no character 😎 or nostalgia.

[@nukedathlonman]

Damn slant nose 930's are cool.

[@M5tubee]

i just put 1k miles on a 88 5spd 930 slant nose in red and i feel the car was goddamn planted and drove pretty darn fast overall solid car with a feel that was to die for you felt as if you were in a movie.. for reference my 2 other cars are. Fully bolted on 135i bmw with 20k in mods and a 640i 4 dr stock. Not once did i feel the porsche was lacking in terms of grip power or anything

[@Mfkfjdnsks]

I've loved these since I saw one in person

[@eddierotary]

I'm jist going to give a like because is my favorite car

[@avaritiaetsuperbia]

This is the kind of guy who gets on TST so he can sell it and feature the TST video on the advertisement

[@basic.sportscar]

Kinda... I gave Matt the option to review any of my cars and this is the one he chose. Were it up to me, we'd be going a lot faster in another car and I'd have more to say.

Just want to say two things.. 1 The 930 had 4-speed gearbox becourse 5 -speed could't handle the tourqe. 2. Factory 930 3.3l Européen car has only 300 bhp. But the factory 930 Slatnose had 330 bhp Greetings from one modiefied 930 owner Jimmie

[@MacPro8CoreMan]

I had a gray-market 1985 930 for 11 months of the years 1987-88. The car certainly was not cheap, and getting it modified to meet US Spec cost a lot more than what most people claimed at that time. I was in debt up to my eyeballs, but I wanted a 5 speed after driving a new 1987 3.2L 911 Carrera Coupe. Porsche USA treated me like a heretic and would not even engage in conversation regarding a Porsche factory 5 speed being swapped in. Then I contacted the only RUF dealer that I could find in the USA (I do not remember where it was) and asked about the RUF 5 speed transmission... "It will swap in with ease" I was told. The price was $11,500.00 for the crate transmission and totaled out at $15,000.00 US delivered to an independent local shop which added $3,000.00 in labor, so $18,000.00 in 1988 to get a 4 speed swapped out for 5 speed!!! I don't even want to calculate the adjusted price for 2020. LOL Black Friday was catastrophic for me in many ways, so of course the 930 was sold.I lost around $5000.00 on less than one year of owning that car. Sure wish I could have thought of a way to keep it.

[@Krauser1226]

What a gorgeous car, one of my all time favorites. Good stuff

[@calebneubert230]

The owner should check out the Griffiths system, really great solutions for Porsche AC

[@HeidiandFranny]

Hey Matt? Aren't those vents in the back part of the Slant Nose option? I wonder if the conversion did that as well... Great video and you drive really well! What is with the folks always giving you the right-of-way? You live a charmed life! :)

[@erickonphoenix]

A bit off topic, but Matt. Can you get Dan Greenawalt to scan the canyons so we flat landers can play around in the hills a bit. I'm getting to know this route from your videos but I'm itching to put it on my driving sim.

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

Wasn't this from the era Porsche was slapping lead plates in the front to keep the balance more neutral?
