A Better Way To Clean Your Front Radiators!

I know the S also had some cosmetic changes like holes in the 3/4 panels for the intercoolers instead of them being ontop of the engine like in the regular car. But you know Porsche, they sometimes are quite modest about their performance figures and 24 extra hp from porsche can mean quite a difference if its in the right places...
That said, 993 turbo is one of my dream cars. I saw one last new years in Aspen, absolutely stunning.

You know.. as nice as 993 s were, modern technology usually wins out. My next door neighbor has a 993. Ever since he has driven my car, he always says how he cant believe how nice it is and how nicely it drives. He feels his car is under powered and not nearly as balanced. I think if you are going to get one you should go for the Turbo, or first gen. C4S. Dont get me wrong, I love the look of the car and if I could afford an air cooled to add to the collection, I would in a minute.

By the way, my neighbor said the cost of ownership on his 993 is way higher than the 996 and 986s of today.

We need more money so that we dont have to make these kinds of decisions...
The only decision should be "What am I going to drive today?".

Fragdude, actually the ducts built into the rear panels on the 993TTS are all "SHOW" and no "GO". They do absolutely nothing. They are not vented to the intercooler...not even to the rear brakes.

But, yes, they do look very cool!

On the 996TT and 997TT...that's a different story. They are functional beyond looks.

That kinda is a bummer. I thought porsche was above that kinda stuff...oh well, I've only seen a turbo S once in person and I had no idea what it was at that time.

Better read this month's excellence first, finally someone told the truth about Porsche's superior mid engine platform. I like the 993 too, it's beautiful, but I think I would get the Cayman S instead.

the thing about the cayman S is that its so typical, the 993 turbo is a rare beauty
