That is very true. You might have to invest some money in an older 911 to get the handling up to stuff depending on what you buy and what you want. Either way, if you don't have a healthy budget for maintenance let alone mods I might look at something else. This is probably true of most sports cars.

Driving fast just didn't seem that fast. I'm told the 993 & 996 cure that problem. Also told that the 997 solves that problem but I have no desire to spend $80+k on a car. Just want to make sure I'm not getting into some maintenance nightmare with a 993 or 964.
I vote for the 993! Visceral road connection, relatively low maintenance costs, and a ton of fun!!

Oh, and mine is for sale
