I special ordered a 96 993 C2 and took factory delievery. I had one track event and immediately traded it for a 993tt. I still have the 993tt. No regrets on that trade.

I'm with JJayB
I had a 964T, traded it for the 993TT. I recently decided to sell the TT and buy a 993 C2 instead. My TT sat on consignment for 3 months while I drove the C2... last week I took back the TT and I'm selling the C2... there's just no comparison. The C2 is wonderful, no question - but the Turbo... ooohhhh... the white-knuckle-sure-footed-horizon-bending-tarmac-eating Turbo.... nuff sed!

TB,
Thanks for the scan. That is a glowing article.
Interesting the author lusted for the C2. That only makes me feel like a king, as I have a 993 Ruf BTR-2, read: a smidge better performance than a stock 993tt, but with a C2 platform. So that's the best of both worlds acoording to AutoCar, right?

Can't disagree with you (or them) about the RWD being the nicest driving set up for a 993
Should this article be a sticky for new owners to read ?
