Nice stable though. However... ah um... where is the 993? Looks like you are missing the most important link.

Looks like you are missing the most important link. ......Turbo has 3 sets (track/winter/show).Side bar......on driving all seasons.....we have plenty of nice winter days in Wisconsin & I just enjoy driving too much.......life's short......besides, driving in the ice/snow is great practice for summer autocross

Thanks John, but the Turbo996 is the "serious" car there (~560bhp).....the 993 is 95 so it's been chipped, rechipped, exhaust, a few other things under the hood, signif suspension work, and most of the Strosek work (Utting Ammersee at Vitorio's shop after Euro deliv) was body work + Strosek fitments........the doors, the roof, and front hood are original
Basically......Strosek took original beauty of the 993 lines and tweeked them here & there...........I have to say, what he offers is actually a shopping list of possibilities, you ultimately put it together.......so there's some anxiety
waiting for return of the car.

My eyes ain't what they used to be. I thought it was an early 930! Had to look really close again to realize it was a 993. Time to go see the optometrist again. So... what can I say? Maybe time to add a GT3?

GT3?...that would be a hoot, but I'm having alot a fun with the speed (and pretty good lap times) with the Turbo.
GT3 would set me back a few notches, with lots to learn (and maybe I just don't want to have to admit,
this car is way better than me)
One more 993 pic.
She now does have a silver badge. Those are the 'show' OZ/Strosek alloys....no, they are not chromed
.....polished &cleared.
