I have owned 14 C900's of various styles and speeds. Currently, my hotrod is a '93 Turbo Commemorative Edition with a red box upgrade. I also have a '90 900S that I enjoy driving just as much, along with a '72 96 V4 which I have been driving just as much as the others. The g-force that the turbo brings is very sweet, but it carries me too quickly to the speed limit and then the brakes must be applied (assuming I am staying within the speed laws). There is one advantage to the non-turbo. A non-turbo has a much longer winding out period. I put it in 2nd(for example), floor it, and just let her wind out all the way to redline, enjoying the acceleration for several seconds. Can't do that with a turbo :-)
