I like many of the 911 cars for varying reasons, the 911 3.2L light, reliable, a well-balanced value. The 993 what many consider the pinnacle of the 911 evolution, powerful, balanced, with a hint of the raw edge that defined the 911. The 930 A raw, bite the hand that feeds it powerhouse, that will reward those who learn it well.
In the end I know that I will need to drive many of the choices and research much more to know what will fit me best.

Dude'll be fine. He is in the same situation I was in two years ago... 993... ...930... ...993... ... 930.
It's one hell of a tough decision.

hehehe thanks, I have the car thing big time... it is in my blood... most people, even a lot of "car guys" just don't get. Cars are passion. art, emotion, they are an expression... it is sometimes hard to have such a love of automobiles.
I am sure that I will find the Porsche that fits.

Nice 930 for sale...

any info is appreciated thanks

It's a bit wild for a daily drive street car but would make a nice ride for an enthusiast. I think he's looking for about $30k with nearly twice that invested in the beast.

Any chance you can get some pictures? I still haven't decided to go for a modifed 930 or NA 993. Wish I had the money to do both.

I don't know Bill (MC's friend) but I bought my 993 from Michael Benet, also a previous owner of the said 930. I'll buy another one from Michael in a New York minute. My 993 was near-mint!
