Not even a little bit. But whatever floats your boat...

 

I lusted after them before getting my 993. Now I realize that what I like the most is a well balanced sports car. If I ever get around to having a 3rd car then I'll consider a classic or hot rod but until then...will hold off.

I do like the Nomads too, though. Not my 1st choice but they're pretty cool.

 

I can stretch to american muscle cars.. something like that tho doesnt get me excited.. who knows tho one day.

 

Oh yeah never in replacement of my 993...but a stable mate perhaps.

 

Always! And I love me some Nomads all done up.

 

my trouble when playing with either muscle cars or hot rods is i try and change the driving experience... inevitably towards more of a precise sports car - its a) futile b) loses the point of the car in the first place c) easier to just buy a sports car if thats what i want.. I will end up with a 68 camero at some point, maybe a plymouth GTX and an old bronco.. ugh a slow friday full of dreams again.

 

The only reason I'd get a hot rod would be for summer cruises and family drives etc. but I suppose how much would I use it really? Hmmm...

I've had many friends who have owned Impala's, Nova's etc. so have been subjected to American muscle for a while. Its becoming all the rage here in Dubai but nonetheless its a pure cruise kind of thing and not sports car related at all. Hence why I'd be keeping the 993...

 

I don't get some of you guys. How can you love cars and not that Nomad!?! Or maybe you just love Porsches...

 

im trying! just cant get there. Looks like the ghostbusters ran out of ghosts and had to start dealing crack instead.

 

Well, for one thing, it's not a Nomad.

And I'm a fan of hot rods and musclecars too. And I'm looking for a 993 Cab to be parked along side this car in my garage.

 

Nope, but if I did, it would be an oldie in original condition.

If I had the space, I'd have a few 63-67 Corvettes, a '70 LT1 Corvette, a 60s Camaro, a 60s Mustang, a 70s Dodge Challenger. You get the idea.

 

I was waiting for someone to get this right, Nomads were 2-doors in those model years.

 

I did the muscle car thing prior to buying my 993. I restored a number of cars (Mopar) but they had limited use and I didn't end up driving them much.

 

Love them. I've owned 3 Mustangs - 2 '66s and a '68. Mine were what I'd consider Pony cars and not muscle. I would still love to have a nice '69 Camaro in the garage at some point.

The reason I have a 911 is that it's more refined. I can drive it in traffic and not feel like I'm going to have trouble stopping. I also don't worry about driving the car in the rain - although I don't like to.

I know you can take muscle cars and make them stop, corner, etc. just like a modern car, but it does take the right person to do it. And I just don't have a shop like that near me.
