This thread is equivalent to:

1. What's your favorite color?
2. Boxers or briefs?
3. Favorite vacation spot?
4. Tastes great or less filling?

What. Is. The. Point.

I agree. Ridiculously stupid question in the 993 Forum to begin with.

Is the design aging well? Puh-leeze.

I think the 964 is having a resurgence in popularity because of Singer using the 964 body as a starting point. Also, look at the astronomical prices the 964RS is now getting in Europe (I think the 993RS has always been highly sought after).

So on a relative basis I would say the 964 is having a bit of a renaissance but that in no way diminishes the appeal of the 993.

Eggsactly-this doofus comes on here about every 6 or 9 months to stir the pot.

Sensitive bunch.
The 993 is looking a bit long in the tooth.
Nice ***, no doubt.
There. I said it.

We need to remember that tcabler is a minor league troll who couldn't afford a 993. I love 964s (and would love to own one), but his Porsche pablum is a sign of greater insecurities more than we can ever possibly hope to solve on this board.

Surprised no one mentioned the interior.

For me, I hate the pre 964 manual shifters. Long as in my truck. Post 964 has that compact shifter design.

Just one additional input here......

I've always liked Mary-Ann. That said I think the 993s get more looks now than ever.

It certainly is a contemporary design and if you have HID and body color bumperettes the car looks as if it could be a current model.

I think my 993TT is better looking and sexier than my buddy's 996TT

Post your favorite pic along with your comments. See attached. The air-cooled 993 technology puts it into a collector's category as well. Read about the advances in the rear suspension. Drive one, like you stole it...., if someone who owns one will let you. Then stand on a "corner" kneel down, and look along it's lines...

+993. If I were a mod, I would be a very heavy handed one. Trolls would get one warning. A second violation would be an insta-ban. OP is a clear troll. Unfortunate that we've fed him so well!
