Yeah, not at all convinced of that. The 993 is just an extensively revised variant of the original 911. It really has nothing to do with the 996, which is genuinely a new architecture. Like all the air-cooled 911s, the 993 retains the heavy engineering of the original. I wouldn't like to have to choose between a 964 and a 993, love them both. As for the 996, well, it ain't quite the same, is it?

Anyway, love your new ride, I'm a huge fan of 964s.
