What would you replace your 993 with?

The day after I picked up my 993, I met a friend and his wife for lunch. In the parking lot was a Ferrari. It was easy enough to spot the owner and I started chatting with him. He felt the same way and said that he should have bought a Porsche instead.
Yes, they do look nice, but I'll just continue looking at them and enjoying them from that aspect.

I know what I want ..... a 965 and some sort of M3 to drive when I fiddle with the 965. That or a lightly modded 966TT.
But for now I am still enamored with the 993.

If it had to be the same price range, I think I would pick up the best 996 I could find and with the spare change I had left over (my '97 993 should be worth more than most 996s), then I would spend the difference on track mods.

I will not sell mine.
If, on the other hand, it met an untimely demise, I would search long & hard for a super low-mileage early '95 (built in early 1994).
Far more capable cars exist today, but this silly box of bolts has kept my attention like no other.

I had a 3.2 Carrera before my 993. Unexpectedly sold the 993 and replaced it with another 3.2. I just couldn't pass up a pristine, local 32K mile factory widebody that was priced right.
I do 90% of my own work and the 3.2 is a MUCH friendlier car to work on. Plus I enjoy the more vintage-y, involving driving experience that the older Porsche provides. I just wish it was a coupe...
The 993 was the better looking car, no contest there!
