What is the deal with 996TT being cheaper than 993TT?

OAK your car would crush a C5 Z06 on a track. A C6 would do well for a while but after 20 minutes the brakes roast. Not to mention the 12 pads for the front.

Let's leave the Z06 out of this thread...nice car, different in a lot of ways....great buy on a lot of levels, and with LeMans success in its pedigree.....give the car respect .... I have a 996TT and prefer it. That is me...
Anyway, I had a 993 and miss the "rawness" of it, but for a dd, the 996tt rules. It feels more modern in a lot of good and bad ways, that is all.
Two architecture students walked up to me at the local dealer and asked if my car was the 998....seriously.... I think the 996 looks good now in a way the 997 cannot because they tried so hard to copy the 993 elements.
Almost like the 996 was more evolved from a designer point of view... Don't get me wrong, I would love the turbos of the 7 and the build in the interior, but I like the front of my 6 better....more unique if you will....roast away.

...but the one thing I would never give up; is the view of my rear spoiler coming up so I can see it - gone in a 997TT. :-)

I couldn't agree more. I really don't like the "squared off" look of the 997 interior, including the more "vertical" presentation of the dash.

I have had both, I chose the 996tt due to being a little bit more comfy. I want to drive a "rowdy" Porsche Turbo I drive my 965. RWD, raw as hell. I like it much better than the 993tt as far being a "drivers" car

I LOVE the 996TT...its shape is pure sex to me and it is easily the best looking of the 996's. It's an engineering marvel in every way. Of course the 993TT is a beauty too but I'm looking for a used 996TT because there are simply more of them with lower miles and lower prices. I will hang on to my beautiful low miles eurospec 85 Carrera when I have the hankering for an air cooled spin
