Well having sold a 77 euro carrerA 3.0 and now a boxster S, if you want performance the S would swallow the c3. I do get the sound and feel argument though. The older ones just seem to have a lot more soul. The S motor sounds great, just not loud enough. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think if you lower the 986, throw a different muffler on it and drop some weight, it probably would go a long way to adding some soul. Racing seats would be a nice touch too. If you prefer the 911 look, well there is nothing that you could do about that. Not a bad choice either way.

Chuck, do you still have your 993? Or did you cash in on the air cooled craze?

Sold it just before they took off ... I figure I lost $75,000 by not holding on to it.
