Does anyone have tech specs for a US version 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera?

I met a really nice guy out at the track and he was driving a 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera. I'd like to know more about his car, but can't seem to find a lot of specs on the internet (google). I know it has a 3.2 liter flat 6 and weighs about 2,600 lbs, but I'm getting inaccurate information regarding hp and tq numbers. I read somewhere where the car had just over 200 hp and read in another place where it had 230 hp. I'm thinking that the 230 hp was for the European version and not the US spec car.

What I'm after is correct hp, tq, weight, 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times, skidpad and or slalom, etc..

If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be most appreciated.

Porsche Information.

It states that 1985 Porche 911 Carrera is same as 1983, except it has wide body like a turbo..


"While Dr. Fuhrmann prefered his tailor-made narrow-body 911 turbo, many customers liked this wide-body "turbo-look" Carrera. It did not offer better handling, just added 50 kg extra and more drag. You may call it a "poor" man's 911 Turbo, or a "fool"-man 911 Turbo is also appropriate."

Thanks.. I saw that link. This page has got to be for the Euro spec versions though because they have the 911 Carrera starting in '83 and the US didn't get the Carrera until '84. Also, this is the page that has the 911 Carrera listed as 230 hp. From what I know, the US spec version only had just over 200 hp.

One of the other things that tipped me off about the Euro versions was that they talked about the turbo 911 quite a bit as if it never left. The turbo kept appearing and then dissapearing from the US market.

Thanks again.
