Original magazine reviews of 993s?
Modifying this thread based on IXLR8's input. I will try to catalog any submissions that people are able to dig up.

I have all of the Excellence Magazine issues that cover the 993, C4, TT, and turbo-look models. I'll take a look to see what specifically there is.

Oh ,,,, there's a bankers box in the attic which is full of the 993 print. Basically the automotive journalist's of the days all scripted superlatives. 993,,, what's not to like !
I'd offer to share any of the print articles however the box is at our Colorado place.

I dont have the original 993 review but i was at a Classic car event a few weeks back and picked up a 1973 version of autocar with the original RS Touring review. Totally useless but I thought kinda cool.. figure inflation adjusted they were selling for about 35-40k in todays money.. Apologies for the sidetrack.. i'd also like to see some original reviews of the 993 if they are out there.

I have two books published by Brooklands Books:
Porsche 911 1990-1997
Porsche 911 Takes on the Competition 1990 - 1997
They compile US motoring articles from that time on the 964 and 993.
You can probably still pick these up from amazon etc. I bought these back in 2005 when I was traveling in the States.
