Pretty alluring, isn't it?

I have to say that the 911 is one of my dream cars. With a slight preference for the 964. 

But this one would make my day. 

Best,

Nicolas

Certainly appealing...

Not nearly as sweaty palmed in terms of driving experience as previous turbos but still incredibly fast. And very beautiful. The only thing I dislike is that without adjustments you cannot get the drivers seat far enough back for tall drivers.

Ouch! [nt]

It requires proper driving skills otherwise oversteering can surprise the pilot.

+1! [nt]

993 Carrera S is the one. N/A, wide body but 2WD.

Talking about air-cooled models, I would take a 964 over a 993 all day every day. Best, Volker

This is the one I have, a 993 C2S

As for the comparison of the 993 v. 964, and which to favor, I advise driving each first. The 993 is a HUGE leap forward performance-wise, especially the handling because of the multi link rear suspension. I’ll bet it will put a much bigger smile on your ...  

Go 911 Nico

964 Is ravishing but 993 is stunning allure. If I may suggest 993 Carrera 2S over Turbo.. simple kind smart character inside voluptuous body. 993 Turbo is perfect nonetheless.

Aaah 993 Targa is revealing beauty

More than a 1,000,000 (yep, a million) 911s have now been produced. It's not a rare car anymore. The youngest 993 is now 20 years old and the 964 25 years. The reason 964s are light-weight is the quantity of fibre-glass used to repair their rotting bodies... 

911 hype ...

The 911 is indeed far from a rare car, but that doesn't take away the fact it is a car with a great driving-feel to it. I remember the first time i drove my friend's 3.0 from 1981 (must have been in 2005) i really didn't like it at all. As he left the car... 

You are of course absolutely right. That's why I started with a Volvo P 1800. Which, in superb shape, is lower in price than the 911 and much more affordable to maintain. BUT...

I am not in hurry, and I don't want to go for a 911 just to say that I finally got it. I don't want the dream become a nightmare. Thanks for your great input! Best, Nicolas

Go for it, but ....

... To keep costs 'low' buy a normal 3.6 non turbo Carrera 2 or 4 manual. If you buy a 993 you will offcourse have a more modern car that will probably give you a slightly more useable vehicle. Bim

The 993 is over-appreciated...

And unfortunately, it was the first Porsche that caught my eye too...

I wasn't introduced to the 964 until much later...

 
 By: patrick_y : July 31st, 2018-20:01
I was first introduced to the 993 by my grade school teacher. She gifted me a Porsche 911 brochure (993) which quickly became one of my treasured possessions. So my exposure to the 964 was much later. But I like them all!

She was very amused when...

 
 By: patrick_y : August 1st, 2018-01:30
When I was supposed to be reading a book, but I secretly had the Porsche brochure in the middle of my book. She confiscated the brochure that she herself had gifted me but returned it to me later in the day. I was so ashamed, I felt so guilty to have betr... 

My favorite

I have a ‘75 and a ‘17, but that is a great one. Somehow a connection to the old school designs.

Was inside my friend’s 911 recently.
