Dancing on The Dark Side
Guys,
I've decided I need a street car in the stable...It's one thing to have a race car; but it's another to have one you can drive on the street, too!
So, I've bitten the bullet...just got a '96 993 C-4 Cab...Silver with black...one of the last of the air-cooled flat sixes.
You know, it's got the same 6-speed trans...and the front end looks very familiar, too!
The race car will still represent the mark at NASA races around the East; but I wanted something to tool around on the weekends.
Don't hate me...
Jason

Mike,
I keep it at Speedwerkes in Nyack...They have at least 3 968's there that are raced on a regular basis...plus they do a whole host of stuff for street cars, too!
Even 993's!!

You could make a strong argument that 993s are soundly better cars than 968s (o****, gonna get drummed out of the 968 section 
)
I mean 968s are one of the prettiest, most timelessly styled, best handling models that Porsche ever produced, and the culmination of a design evolution...and the exact same thing is true of the 993!
However...who says you can't daily drive a race car???
So long as you're a complete lunatic, of course

Jason - congrats and best of luck and welcome to the 993 board !
I will be making a similar announcement as yours although I'm going the other way and not that theres anything wrong with that.

I hate to admit but our cars are dropping in value, and are getting older and harder to spend money on when you know you won't get it back! And I have two 968's...Armor on lol
