The 996tt is the bargain of the century, as much as I like 997 turbos the 996 is better in a couple of ways, especially the awd and non pasm suspension. An x50 x73 '03 midnight blue turbo is tough to beat.

Anyone have any thoughts on the 993tt. I've never heard of a 993tt having the front diff disconnected or used at the track which would rule the track against 10 year + newer cars.

Also its awd system is the same. It was the first Turbo to have been tamed and easy to drive.

I've been able to hot lap a few 993turbos.
I think handling is quite similar to the 996 turbo easy to drive at the limit.

There are two PSM indicator lamps on the dash and their functions are as below:

+1, the driving experience is very different, but the core handling is pretty similar/familiar
