Thanks for all the comments. I don't think I will be purchasing another car any time soon.

Nice. I sure would like to have an E30 M3 parked next to my 993 in my garage.

I'm curious to hear how the 993 compares to the S. Maybe it's the shot, but the S looks larger that the 993, which seems odd. Anyway, thanks for sharing,,, some great wheels you have there. Looking forward to more pics

The 993 was parked more forward than the other two, funny how it looks so small. As for the comparison between the two, the S feels a bit lighter but also a bit under powered compared to the 993. The worst flaw of the S2000 is the lack of steering feel/feedback and lack of confidence when pushed hard. It doesn't feel planted like the M3/993 but my car is completely stock. I don't do canyon runs with the S2000. The s2000 is also very tail happy but you can definitely rotate the 993 more easily. Of the three, it's my least desirable car to drive although it's tough and well built and nice with the top down.

How about a few pictures of the M3. I had a 1998 M6 which was fun at the time but too big to be a sports car.
Great looking 993, I bet you drive it the most.

Your M3 looks fantastic, as does your 993. I have to say I love my S2000 and I drive the RS and sometime find it a chore compared to driving the S2000 where the pedals are placed perfectly, the gear shift so precise and mechanical. Still the RS is better made.

Where are you guys finding these nice 993s? I'm looking for essentially exactly that car - a silver C2S (but would take a C4S) with limited mileage and still empty handed!

Oh well - congrats. She looks great. And let me know if you have any buyers regret.

BTW - I too have an M3 (E92) and 911 (997)

Love the M3, very clean, & very stockish.

The 993 pics are great, I can just see it "some A-hole in a 911 taking up 4 spots for such a small car"

Spike,
It appears as though you have a car problem. You have come to the right place. We here at RennList-993 can help you and have devised a 12 step program.

However, from your garage picture it appears you are closer than the usual 12 steps from the edge of the slippery slope...

Enjoy the mayhem!
