Has to be 993 -> 996 IMO.

It wouldn't surprise me if that option was no longer available.

just my opinion of course

Coolness! Apologies in advance if I fail to recognize everyone...it's what happens when advancing age and excessive scotch consumption at last catches up with one...I'll be the guy in the clear Ray-Bans and that slightly overawed look on my face...

The official event is tonight in Nashville as well. Doubt we'll have 1500 people show up though (hope not!). But those of us that attended our PCA Banquet 2 weeks ago saw 2 of them there.

after seeing the car tonight i must admit it looks better in person than it does on the web. Sitting inside it is very much like a panamera... VERY nice. It is a big step up in the luxury dept IMO than previous models. That being said it feels like a grand touring car more than anything.... It is huge. I want to come back and take a test drive before I give my final opinions

I was so glad to get back into my 993 after sitting in the 991 (and also after driving the new Boxter Spyder). I think we still have one of the best Porsches.

Yes...huge. I sat in one as well, and it swallowed me up...yet, the rear seats were as challenged as ever...

My pics aren't nearly as clear as I'd like them to be, but then again, neither was I...

...if you were there in the back there at Hennessy Porsche during the reveal, when they mentioned the 993 Turbo, and you heard a guy shout "Whoo hoo!" that was me.
