Default My 2cents

Stop it, already!

As a former owner of a '96 993 and then a '97 993, and a current '99 996 cab owner, I can attest that the 993s and 996s are very different things. Saying one model is "better" than the other is like claiming one of your children is better than the other.

My 996 is better than a 993, only for the simple fact I bought a 996 and not a 993

My 99 Pontiac Montana is better than a 993 as well, in fact I just dropped $600 on it yesterday for a remote start and a new alpine radio. Hands free calling baby! Try that **** in your 993

Here's why the 996 is "better" than the 993:

If I was to wad it into a little ball on the track, I wouldn't feel as bad about it like I would if it was my 993S

Default super ***** paid you a visit I see....

Guys, don't let quadcammer get you riled up...he is equally hated on the 993 forums and other forum sections as well.

Oh my, a big bad 993TT owner putting down other supposed lesser models? Seriously the worse kind of super *****. Type of guy that attends local tuner meets picking on the s2000 owners... Prior 993TT guy here (and years past s2k, rx7, to 964, 997, RUF cars and on down the road...I respect all) and can tell you Not all air cooled owners are complete *********..... but a handful do qualify as you have experienced. That said this this guy owns a bus pass I think at most despite his claims.

993TT super neat car but a LOT to go wrong.... engine may not grenade less but oil leaks galore, cylinder head issues, turbo rebuilds, rear end fires happen and on and on.... (still love them!)
996 a great car as well on many levels...(never owned one but would be happy to if right one came along)

Carry on....
