Default What Porsche would you replace your 993 with?

title says it all, if you were going to sell your 993, what other model - any model Porsche - would you replace it with? And why?

And no responses of 'another 993' or 'I wouldn't replace it'. I know that. I'm curious what OTHER models 993 owners fancy.

Disclosure: I have a 1995 993 cab, with 193,xxx miles on it. Obviously we LOVE our 993, its a DD, weekender, long tripper, etc all in one.

"And why?" seems to me to be the real question.....

And why....

Because I want something different (which I don't currently). I'm happy after 4 years of 993.

A 959.
I practically salivated over the 959 when it came out (in the 80's).
Not for nuffin', but if you look at the styling - esp. the front of the 959 - and (case in point) the side-air-grills -- and then look at the front of your 993 -- and then look just in front of your front wheels -- you'll see the very same air-grills. :-O

997GT3
996GT3
72 911S ( so i could make a RS or RSR clone)
964 3.6T

All are huge price steps (outside of the 72) so that is why I havent and probably wont replace mine. If I get another Pcar it will be in addition to the 993

I'm not sure I qualify, but I had a 993 and replaced it (see my avatar). I do miss my 993, but I love the replacement....

I would go for a really well done SC, but lose the CIS and replace with ITB EFI system. I just like the older air cooled stuff.

For me a 996 GT3; Lots of my track friends have them, fun to run same type of cars on the track together, $55K gets you a lot of GT3

A Cup car; owning a real Porsche built race car, what could be better

For street only a PDK turbo, lots of HP

Cheers,
Geoff

Time to buy another lotto ticket
