Default Comparison with 991

I drove the 993 to my daughter's swim lesson last Saturday and parked next to a 991 Turbo in the lot. My how the car has grown in the last 20 ish years.

I picture the owner coming out like, "there are 600 spaces in the lot and this guy can't find another spot?", "I mean, we're at least half a mile from the venue, right hon?", " I specifically picked this tree out so I could see it from the front door."

The 991 is an amazing car, but I don't think you can beat the 993 for looks!

Re Disraeli's comment: I don't mind another Porsche parking next to me in an empty lot. What I hate is finding an old beat up truck parked close to me when there are dozens of other places available.

Here is a picture of my 993 a while back parked next to my buddy's 991 C2S..

You can really see the size difference between the 2 cars...

I took this pic on the way out so the guy likely never saw it. When I came in there was a C7 Corvette on the other side of him. If it were me I'd be glad if another enthusiast parked next to me to protect me from idiots.

I was just kidding, I would probably have parked in the exact same spot.

I heard somewhere that the goal was to park in between the yellow lines

I think the 993 WB is the best looking of them all while still retaining the deep rear slope of the original. The newer gens are becoming to look like any other coupes as they loose the deep rake of the rear, which is a signature design of the 911, imo.

Yep, the 991 is a bit bigger. But it's a wonderful car! They both are!

OK, so this technically has nothing to do with this comparison to a 991 ...but I had fun taking the shot, nevertheless
