+1

3.6 964 Turbo would also be a great alternative

Even if it may not be a pure 911, you can't argue with 78mpg with $5/gal on the way.

That is a good question. Either a 3.8L 993RS or a Factory SWB sport purpose 911 like this '68 911T.

94 Turbo cabriolet, the only one I'd trade my car for. Looked hard at the 993 (I like the wide body look) but can't get past the front end.. Have to be another 964. Brandy new Tahoe this fall for my daily driver

Currently have:
*73 E/RS=fabulous
*964 C2/RS-ish=absolutely fabulous

...Third would definately have to be 04/05 GT3. An absolutely perfect modern machine with the DNA of a proper Porsche (ie: no-nannies approach) I owned one in 2008 for 3 months and sold it, thankfully due to depreciation. They are now properly priced and should increase in value over time (next 10 years). The perfect 3 driving cars for early, mid-modern and more-modern flavor.

Start talking!

This was in Total 911 (magazine) a couple months ago...

Here’s a sneak preview of a very rare car we photographed yesterday. A 964 Turbo Cabriolet, one of just four built by Porsche Exclusive in 1993. With just 5000 miles on the clock it’s in astonishing, original condition. Look out for the full story – and more photographs – in Total 911.
