I would gladly give up 20 mph's off of the top end speed for a 0 to 60 time that would at least keep up with the modified ricers.

Guys - I thought I'd spice things up a little here with everyone wanting one of these - hect it was only three years ago these were selling for well, less than they are now. Who knows, maybe Porsche will find a stash of these and let em go for cheap... Anyway, mine is going to get put on my car soon ....

Thanks Nile.

1. Easier entry. The clearance to the forward door frame is too short.
2. Ignition switch on the right side of the steering wheel.
3. One touch sunroof open and close.
4. I drive other cars and would like the Porsche to be more like them in egonomics.
5. I drive other cars and would like all of them to handle more like my Porsche.

Are you implying that Steve lives in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood and I should go visit?

Skip,

You need my RUF, here's what it comes with:

426 HP, 435 ft-lb torque.
<3,000 lbs.
VERY low Recaro A-8s (I'm still debating about a bracket to raise it 2").
Euro gears (in fact, special RUF tranny with special ratios in each gear).
LWFW.

On top of that (amongst many other goodies), and I'm appreciating it more and more - titanium engine innerds with additional oiler cooler and inter-cooler.

But back to the one thing I'd change in a regular 993: Bi-xenon head lights.

More leg room again.
I'm 6'4" and will never be able to wear a helmet in the car that I can see. So a vote for more headroom too.

Sorry Nile - I'm just a little giddy and lightheaded over the excitement my euro tranny is generating. I meant to say that ol scs32 can, you know, head off to that neighborhood...
