Sir..it was not intended..just have in all my readings I had never seen anyone described it that way..was just wondering if he could be referring to the creaking or flexing that some of us have.....

Thats about as blunt as saying I drive around in a card board box. If thats someone's opinion, I have the nicest card board box around.

964 has too many syllables and lacks structure when rolling off ones tounge and sounds flimsy.

My 993 track car still has the cassette holder in the back part of the console. Now that IS flimsy. I can't think of anything else flimsy on the car.

have both and neither are flimsey and both are best example of Porsche designs. If I had to rate them, the 993 feels a little more bulkier and more sturdier than the 964. I have to believe the 993 was designed with some body structure improvements like the suspension using MO30 shocks. Besides, you can't listen to a 964 turbo owner, they are over the edge, where I hope to be someday.
I'd consider this california car if it wasn't so far away.

Trinity, you car looks good. I like the TS tail. May put one my 964. You should be happy with your 993 with the mods it has. A 964 turbo could be a next car choice but you may not be as happy about tthe ride of a 964. I think the black turbo owner was referring to the stiffer 964 ride ove rthe softer 993 ride.

My power window switches are flimsy, so are the little black buttons that try to hold the carpets down. Damn, these cars are crap.

Default It is a different beast

The '91 and '92 are less desirable than the '94 3.6 version, but they are a blast to drive....i.e. a rear drive Turbo...... and few in number in the US

The car in the Pelican thread has apparently not sold at $44,000.....appears to be average and based on my market search for two years now....it is overpriced; although prices have been steady or rising slightly...just have the '89 930s

the 964 turbo is one of my favorite Porsches, they're the last of the beasts.

Yes, the car is very flimsy. Leave them to us. We will keep them off the market for you.
