What are folks thoughts on 993's over the 996 and even 997?

I think it has much more character... and still being aircooled is a

I find Porsches to be very confusing. Too many numbers

But I love that shape, my neighbor had one a few years back and it looks so cool. Seems to have a lot more shape to it than the most current ones.

The numbers...

They are just models...

My one was the last shape to have 911 on it from the factory.

The newer ones are known as 911's but with ( 930 964 993 996 997 etc)

the 993 turbo is deffo the purists favourite.

If I were to buy a Porsche it would be either the 993 Turbo and the 964 RS.

Ed the intercooler is in the spoiler hence why they are soo big

Get one Kindness one of the best cars you've looked at so far imo

GT2
The GT2 is best described as the race variant of the Turbo. For weight saving reasons the 4WD was deleted. The interior is similar to the Carrera RS. The fenders of the Turbo have been cut and replaced with bolt-on plastic pieces in order to accommodate large racing tires and to ease the repair of damages to the fenders often occurring in racing.

Until 1997, the GT2 had almost the same engine as the Turbo, but delivering 430 hp (DIN). In the last year (model year 1998) output was raised to 450 hp (DIN) and twin ignition was added.

The many racing variants have different engine set-ups depending on the applicable racing series. Power output came as high as 600 bph in a "Evo" version designed for the GT1-series, which was ultimately replaced by the mid-engine 911 GT1.

993 turbo is a bit more realistic

Would pref a nice looking, comfy 993 turbo over a rough and ready 964 rs. I'm getting old

That was an RUF 911 Turbo which is pretty damn mental. The convertible one back then was able to do almost 200 mph
