Not to rain on anyone's parade, but it is only a 3 page write up, basically declaring the 95 993 as the best buy due to OBD I vs OBD II.

I found the 918 write up more interesting personally.

Yep...You accurately condensed the 993 article down to 16 words (The contents of which, by the way, anyone on this board who has been paying attention could have predicted).

Then there was a feature on a Boxster-based 550 replica...Y-a-a-w-w-w-w-n-n-n....Just one more example proving that if you throw enough money at a project you can make it "work."

The 918 article was definitely the most interesting to me.

Just sayin'

I will be rushing home tonight to apparently read the 918 article I understand the upside of the '95, but to make a declaration of best buy? I would not trade my "S" for a '95 ever - not trying to start anything here and before someone says I paid or there is a premium on the "S" needs to understand that mine has 196K on the odo (190K when I bought it) and I did not pay a premium (or at least a very small one).
