BEAUTIFUL, twinreds!!! I originally wanted a 930 Cabriolet, but thought it would not be the right Porsche for a first-time Porsche owner. I thought that a 993 would be a bit more user-friendly. How does owning a 993 compare to owning a 930? I still hope to own a 930 Cabriolet one day. I grew up in the 80s and my heart still skips a beat whenever I see a 930.

Thank you!!
They are worlds apart. The 930 is modded, so it's a departure from the stock, which makes them even more different.
930: Noisy, hot, bumpy and absolutely not luxurious, but it's raw Porsche, the way it was meant to be.
993: nimble, more civilized and hands down a much easier car to drive. Still retains some of the old school feel, but definitely poised to be similar to a normal drivers car.
I've gone through a 911 SC Targa, a Carrera Cab, a 964 Cab and these two and believe me, this is the winning combination. IMHO the 930 is the King of road-going Porsches.

Alright, so I should start saving up for a 930 Cabriolet. I am however going to prioritize buying a Karmann Ghia Convertible to my growing collection.
Oh yeah, and as for Guards red, I am so glad I did not get the Arctic silver Cabriolet I was also looking at. No matter how much I love the colors silver and blue, I think Guards red really looks great on a 911.
