930 as Track Car

Hi:
New to this forum. I'm looking to add dedicated track car (been using my 01 TT) and am considering a slant nose 930 that is stripped and track prepped. Don't know if anyone can take a shot at these questions:
-I have only heard stories about 930 street cars being a challenging drive. The owner of the slant nose said his 930 is quite manageable, planted and easy to drive, despite the horsepower. Any thoughts?
-When compared to
-Owner indicated little to no turbo lag (I don't yet know the setup) on the track. I'm certain the turbo has been modified, but again only recall stories of turbo kicking in intensely on street 930.
-These cars are commanding a premium to race prepped Carreras of same vintage. Owner, who is obviously biased towards the 930, said I would be wanting more with regular Carrera. I know it's all about the driver and Carreras can be worthy competitors, but I know what he meant was on the straights against higher horsepower cars. There was no question nothing was passing this 930!
-I'm only intermediate but am up to the challenge of learning a car like this; I just don't want to be in over my head if this is purely an advanced car (I recognize that any track car without driver aids requires you to be on your game).

Many thanks to anyone that can share some thoughts/experiences, Fred
