Care to elaborate on that? I have been in one and it's the way these cars should be,very plain and low bodyfat. There isn't much to them.

I haven't driven one but would love to hear about your experiences though. More importantly why wouldn't you buy either one you drove?

Hey Blink, good question. One I drove, about a week ago, was pretty beaten and trashed. 40k miles, modded suspension, and filthy interior. The second one I test drove was very-very nice but had a few body panels that were replaced with carbon fiber. It also had about 40k miles, very-very clean.

Don't forget, you are also buying the "seller" too. Not just the car. So everything needs to come together. I fully expect the process to take several months. And sometimes the journey is more fun than the final destination.

I really want a very stock car. No mods.

The car is amazing. Sounds great. Easy to drive. Scary fast!

993 Turbo is an amazing car to drive. If you keep the rpms low, it drives like an n/a car. But, when you put your foot in it, it wakes up quick. One thing I liked about it is you can actually hear the turbos and they sound good. 996 Turbo just doesn't feel as sporty, it's almost too refined.

What makes the 993 superior to the 964 and previous 911's. The exterior styling, arguably the best looking 911 ever made and they're the last of the air cooled. Some say it's the last true 911.
