I totally agree. The original 911 look is still very visable. 935's lost alot of the street look, where as the 934's retained the spirit of the cars original shape.
I also think the 911 chassis was better built back then, the newer versions do not feel as SOLID as the older ones do.

Bringing this thread back from the dead ;-)
Man i love those 934's!
I have hatched a plan to build a 934 replica as a track car, once i'm finished my current project.
Does anyone know who does 934 panels, ie the proper 934 flare extentions and the front air dam etc. I have had a good look at GT-Racing's site, but they mostly seem to do RS and early RSR panels.

If you want the flares I have them in my garage. They were new from AIR 5 years ago and have been in my attic ever since. My body guy just refused to cut up my car. So I modified the splitter to match the standard turbo flares instead...

AIR is American International Racing (as above). They have the original molds from Porsche. The downside is they have the original molds from Porsche (requires some rework as the molds have shrunk over the past 30 years).
The splitter is a one of a kind. It's the 930 splitter from AIR blended with what was left of my 930s splitter to make it fit the stock fenders. The center is 934 and the ends are 930s. If I were smart I would make a mold of it because I am never doing that project again. 50+ hours of expert hand labor made it look like that.

934.5 Turbo
Click: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...e+934.5+racing This car is for sale 
A little history: This 934 was raced by the late Milt Minter (Vasek Polak team) at The 2004 Tribute to LeMans at California Speedway, and at Riverside Int. Raceway in the late 80's.
Milt Minter's site: http://autosportsltd.com/minter/milt-gallery.html
*"This product of Porsche's competition department first appeared on the grid in 1976, and in the first phase of it's career at least, struck terror into most of it's drivers."
"About 30 934's came from the factory in 1976 at a cost of 97,000 German Marks. These new GT cars were based on the Porsche 930, with a turbo charged engine. This was the racing version that became the type 934, with the 4 meaning Group 4. Wheel width was limited to 14 inches and rim width to 12.5 inches.
The rear wing was kept to a minimum, unlike the 935. Engine size was ruled no greater than 4 liters and a minimum weight of 2470 lbs. was laid down. The engine allegedly delivered up to 580hp and 300km/h+ (185+) could be seen on the speedo."
It was at the race track in Hockenkeim, during the 6 hour event that was one of the heats of the constructors' world championship. "This car is a brute - you have to watch it like a hawk!' commented Edgar Doren. Manfred Schurti said "it is not as bad as that! But keep the throttle open when you're braking, so that the boost pressure builds up. And brake early - the car is heavy!"
In the races for the 1976 manufacturers' world championship, and in '77 and '78 too, the 934 Turbo always performed well. Although there was only one overall win (Heimrath/Miller in the Mosport (Canada) 6 hour race in 1977), the cars were always among the first ten in the overall category that was dominated by the Porsche 935 works cars (driven by Ickx, Mass, Stommelmen, and Schurti) and the BMW CSL competition cars.
