In terms of handling the 997 I drove inspired the utmost confidence. I was taking corners in the 997 that would have had me messing my shorts in the 911-it just instills utter confidence.

Certainly it was alot more powerful but the driving on rails feeling was what I noticed the most. The 993 is also two generations inproved over my 911 so really any "newer" model I test drive will make my car feel antiquated in comparison.

This is hot helping

 

For auto-x the 997 for pleasure driving the 993.

 

I am a big lover of the 993 body and its driving characteristics.

However, that being said, for a reliable car you can take anywhere, without worry, buy a 997.

Now, for a second Porsche (just what we all need), get a 993.

 

Finances permitting, why not keep the '88 911 and get the 997?

'88 -> last year Carrera is classic too.

I got a 997 several months ago to replace a 964, and it's taken that long to start letting go of the 964. I'm almost there but haven't put it up for sale yet. I've realized that old and new are both tremendously fun, and the differences are fun too.

Hard to go wrong, no?

 

What's need got to do with it??? :-)

 

I always wondered if Rosie was a terrorist. Thanks for confirming my suspicions...Freakin' hilarious.
