Went to the dark side
Just a quick thanks to everyone here. I learned a lot from some great people but in the end had no luck finding the right 993 for me. I ended up with a Ferrari. I'm sure in a couple years it will be time for a change and a 993 will be tops on the list. Thanks again your a great group of owners which is why I'm sure there is a P car in my future.

Anything small that breaks .... $1000.00, 15k mile service..... $6000, seeing the look on your jerk neighbors face when you pull into the driveway......PRICELESS !!!!!!!!!!
It's about a 5 second 0-60 but that sound... nothing sounds like it. Especialy with a 7800rpm redline.
Otherwise I don't performace wise it's to far off a good 993 till you hit the curves, then it may have a slight advantage.
The wow factor was cool for a while but now it's a pain. I can't park it anywhere without a scene. Makes me paranoid to take it anywhere and park it. I think I would get more use out of a 993 since it's a little lower key and just as much fun.
I think it cost me a job.. I drove it to an interview like an idiot. The guy interviewing me pointed out that the Hyundai I parked next to (taking up 2 spaces to avoid door dings) was his.

Beautiful!!!
FWIW, the right set of aftermarket wheels will really make it pop (I've never really been a fan of those flat-faced wheels).
You can't go wrong with a red Ferrari!

348, it looks like to me. I am terrible at identifying F-cars. Although, by engine sound, its not that hard. They all sound awesome!!
