I have a '90 744 turbo. As far as the 'in traffic' use.. it's great. The turbo kicks in at about 2500 rpm.. and then BOOM your driving like a mad man. you go from 0-30 in 4 sec. then from 30-60 in 2 sec's... As far as the NA 740 i dont know. i believe they made 2 differant engines for it though. There are the 'regular' ones then the 16V ones. (I think) I you do get a turbo check the history... there's a good chance it will not have much life left in it. I got lucky. My car only had about 5k mi on the new turbo. Look at the 700/900 FAQ for good info on buying a used car.
