Evening all,
Been enjoying my 997.2 C4S for almost a year now and after 20 odd years of lusting after a 911, it's been as awesome as I expected.
As much as I look at her everyday and am content with just being lucky enough to have a Porsche - The reality is that I always going to yearn for a classic air-cooled 911. Whilst a 72' 911E is prob out of reach (!) - A good conditioned 993 C2 could be an option.
For me, I've always loved simple and the idea of a smaller footprint (not that a 997 is too big but compared to a 993 it is!), less power/weight (so I can use all of it) and those gorgeous looks is hard to fault.
Any 993 owners here made the change from more modern 911's? - Would love to hear you thoughts but not just the great feelings, that's easy. The heart is sold already.
More so I'd like to hear pragmatically what's the ownership experience going to be like and how different? Costs, reliability, pains, niggles no one ever mentions.
Before I tempt myself and test drive one (which really is what I need to do), would love to hear some opinions from this forum.
Cheers all
Will
