Thanks Tony!

Your description sounds a lot like the 930 Widowmaker lol.

I figured that the cayman would be a much better dialed in package. My main inteterst stems from the fact that the TT RS is AWD, a feature that was not incorporated into Porsches for many more years, and the fact that I may be moving soon to a much more snow-laden part of the country.

I wouldn't drive any of these options in the snow even with winter tires. Tall narrow tires and lots of weight rule the snow. I use a caddie SRX 4 in the winter. Its better than my 2500HD IMO. The wide tire high power to weight ratio sports car sits in the barn all winter. I don't even like driving the boxster in the rain.

The TT is a nimble little car...gotta get the TT RS or TTS so you can have the HP.

I see plenty of these driving in the snow here in Ontario...AWD with some Blizzaks, lots of fun.

My A4 is a snow beast, and she's lowered.

The first 911 Carrera 4 was on the 964 platform in '89 or '90.

While we don't get a lot of snow in fly over country, my CSS gets around fine with a set of Blizzaks. Great on ice, great on snow < 4".
