This was a funny thread... then this post?

Did you not see the original instigator classifies himself as an "RS guy"... specifcally, 964?
Seems that some have a woody for the 993vs996 argument regardless of the actual discussion.
Let it go man!
Not everyone who owns a 993 is this dogmatic

Kudos to those who made jokes. That is all this kind of "debate" deserves.

Perhaps you should read my posts a little better in the future before you call my remarks "stupid."

As for your comment about Joe being a "true Porsche fan", this sounds a bit stupid to me. Joe believes that MOST of the vehicles in Porsche's current line-up are "not real Porsches." Does this sound like a true Porsche fan to you?
I didn't call you anything, I even didn't quote you in my previous answer...but you are making me laugh, for someone that calls other remarks bull****, you've got very thin skin. You also called me stupid, but do you think I care? Relax, man...life is too short. You ask me if I think Joe is a true Porsche fan? You bet. A guy that have a hangar with 10 Porsche's at home is a true fan to me.

Let me get this straight when Porsche made the 993 they were doing it for the good of man kind but when they came out with the 996 they were taken over by the dark side and the evil Lord Profit. Fade to evil laugh.

Don't worry, you'll be able to find the thread.

Most of the new Ferraris and Lambos don't come with manual transmissions shifted through metal gates. Are they not real either?

Dude, times change and you're stuck in the past. There's nothing wrong with that until you start poking sticks at people that happen to be living in the present.

I like cake too....and I like the kind you can eat too.

I bet the instigator is wearing shorts that are too short, and a polo with the collar up. Poke Poke Poke...prod prod prod. This is fun.
