I never thought I'd hear on RL that people actually hate the look of the 993. To each their own but a very bold one. haha

As for the 993, im no hater but I certainly don't think its all that. The rear-end is gorgeous but the headlights arent great. If the 996's are friend eggs, the 993's were hit with the frying pan :-)
Beautiful pic and awesome road! I miss that freshly paved Knoxville to Berryessa road. Did you guys do to Angwin to Hwy 29?

I love my 997. In fact with the money I spent on rebuilding the engine, replacing the suspension, rebuilding and painting the brakes I could have traded it in for nice 991. I had a hard time adjusting to the size difference between my 993s and the 997. When I saw a 991 parked next to a 996 at the dealership I didn’t bother to test drive it. I’m sure it is an awesome car but it’s too big for me. I’m in my 997 for the duration.

But a 996.1 GT3/full aero car with the row suspension is the best looking 911 ever made.
Not directed at you or anyone else. Just having a little fun. Beauty in the eyes of the beholder, right.
