Be sure to budget in a cooling system overhaul at some point since these engines all have potentially failing coolant lines; it isn't cheap.

No such problems on the 993tt

True enough, but this is a very rare problem, a few dozen cars vs thousands of 996tt, 997tt, 996gt3, 997gt3, 996gt2, 997gt2 and all the RS versions in production who've had no issue.
I've had 4 997 turbos with over 120k mi of driving, lotsa track too, no issue. I think I'm the norm rather than the exception.

Love this one... Both are amazing cars but they must respect their elders.

You know you will be there 3 days a week now.

heard through the grapevine the 993 turbo at FoSF asking $390k was a trade in on a 458

FoSF gave him a 458 plus cash…

At least 3days a week!
It's definitely changed a lot over the last 18 months. The 993tt is finally appriciated the right way. Go to a car and coffe with a 993tt and it gets a lot of attention. Way more than the modern 911 turbos.

when I seldom take on the road my 993TT in Ferrari yellow, I'm the king of the road!
at least I feel that way ;-)

Hi, am also considering a 997.2 Turbo S cab in PDK. Does anyone know the production volumes for this car (in both RHD and LHD)? Thanks

There's a guy over on the 997turbo board who posted all the numbers a little while back, I'll try and find a link.
