Post The only car I would give up my 951 for...

Hot dang, saw this while cruising around E-bay. I think it's the pinnacle of the 911 turbos personally. RWD, 3.6, air cooled..
I love the look of the 996 too, but I think they are heavier than Ferdinand ever dreamed. I'm just talkin' out of my rear though having never driven one...

I agree, these are beautiful cars. I almost drove out of my lane drooling over one yesterday morning.

I had an '94 Turbo 3.6 in midnight blue with black leather. WHAT A GREAT RIDE! I miss that car more than anything. When I sold it I had a choice- car or the wife. Should have kept the car. Say what you will about the 993TT and 996tt, the 94' turbo body was the BEST OF THE BEST.

The Turbo 3.6 is still my dream Porsche. It's the last of the true 911's before Porsche started catering the "dot-com millionaires" who don't know how to drive =).

One day, I'll own and master a Turbo 3.6...

*Drool*

Those wheels look perfect on that car. Once upon a time I thought 360Hp was crazy power. Now I thing 450+ is crazy - 360 is just about right!

These cars just scream "Bad ***"

Too bad he's asking all the high gross retail money in the world for it! Shoot, a sub 30k mile car ought to do no more than high $50s, that car is worth $40-$45 at most!

Does X88 denote the 3.6 in that body or is it something more?

Luke: Why the 3.3s?, aren't all of them CIS anyway?

KellyK,

I gave up my last Porsche for the current wife.

Now I'm giving up the current wife and getting a new Porsche!

I love the 91-94 look, but wont be able to afford one of those for quite some time.
I agree with Luke. The early 3.3's are just plain curvy and bad ***. No other car compares to it..in a league of its own. That will be my next car, I just saw a red 930 yesterday driving down the street...man oh man, i was staring so long my neck almost snapped off.
