I don't like to compare these two cars. They are completely different. Corvettes were made to appeal to a wide group of individuals, Porsches are extremely selective in the type of people they attract. It's like "The house wine sir or a rare vintage?" The house wine may get you drunk faster but......what do you really enjoy more?
I've owned 3 Vettes in my life, each time I swore I would never buy another one. I'm on my 10th Porsche and I don't want anything else.
I really want this toy next but I would still keep my 993. Chris

It shouldn't affect your enjoyment of your 993 though

Today's Porsches for sure aren't made for selected group of drivers, as already said, they are made for everyone.
OK, maybe not for everyone, I think they left us old skool Porsche purists out...

I was at my Porsche dealer this morning and while waiting for a quick warrant service I needed done, I was looking over a 2006 997 Cryatal Silve w/Blk Interior and top Carrera Cab. which had Tiptronic (wife would like 
), NAV., etc,... for about 98.5K. It was very sweet though but didn't have the raw beauty of my 993 C2 Cab.! I would love to get me a new 911 Cab. someday but agree on keeping my old school 993 baby!!! "D

)!
