Hi Guy's,
I have owned a few Porsche's including
95 993 cab
05 996 TT
07 911 Targa
I am now seriously considering to purchase a 94 964 Turbo instead of a 997TT cab...
Would you guys be able to give me some pros and cons of the 964 Turbo
as I not familiar very much with the driving characteristics of the older Porsche??
Maintenance costs etc.....I could use as much education as possible about this car!!
Also If any of you know of a really nice one for sale.
Any input would be very much appreciated....
Thanks in advance!!

Out of interest what is the stumbling block with the US and the 993GT2. Is it just ride height or were they other issues ?.
I sat in an F40 a few years back that belongs to a mate. Far to sparse in side and very much race car interior which does not make it a nice road car. Power delivery is very all or nothing. My mates wife won't go out in the car anymore as it makes her feel sick. As he says, take it out for a blast once a month for a couple of hours and put it away.
Prices for F40 and 993GT2 are not that far discimilar these days. But the GT2 as per the 964 3.6 turbo is a completely useable road car.

Not sure what the 993GT2's are commanding but I thought they were in the $200k range as where F40's are bringing a low of $600k.
This is why we relish the 94 turbo so much here. For street use it is as close to these other cars we can legally drive on our streets.

The 993GT2 was never federalized for US roads. The use of light weight glass, plexi, the removal of 5 mph impact bumpers and many other things make it impossible to federalize here. The same with cars like the 964RS, 964 3.8RS, 1992 964 turbo S etc. Unfortunately, all the really special Porsche's can only be imported and used for track use. I believe there are some new laws in effect that will allow you to register it for show use, but that would limit your driving the vehicle for less than several hundred miles to and from shows only.

Great lines on these cars.

A proper F40 and 993GT2 are fetching very similar money. For a decent car, ie original pannelled, service history etc you won't get much change from £180,000. Look at www.mobile.de I think you will be suprised.

Although in this market who knows what someone will pay for anything now days.

err ... um ... 17 actually ...... sloan wishes these cars were for sale as I have around 1/2 dozen buyers if they were ....

It is one of the documented 17 but does not have the rear arch intakes or 'S' type rear spoiler. From memory the mileage is about 60,000 and the price is around $90,000. Don't take this as gospel, if you are interested I will obtain the exact information for you. The car is in the South of France,
regards, Graeme
