Right...bear with me...
I have owned....
964 C4 Cab
993 C4 Cab Turbo
997 Cab Turbo
I have driven....
911 Carrera Coupe - 1980
993 C2 Carrera
991.1 Turbo S
991.1 GT3
The best one yet?
It might surprise you, but IMHO it was the bog standard 993 C2!
Why?
The 993 C2 was fast enough, felt solid and was the only car that I could "wring its neck" and get close to the limit. Moreover, out of all the cars the 993 gave me the most feedback through the steering wheel and the seat of my pants.
Although the 964 and 80's Carrera have attainable limits. IMHO both variants do not offer the same speed and/or handling of the 993. The 993 is perfectly balanced with the right amount of power in a timeless design. Nuff said!
All of the cars are great in their own way, however IMHO the new stuff just can't be used as intended on the open roads. I love my 997 Turbo, however, within a couple of seconds, I am in to crazy speeds. It is still amazing fun, however, you never get close to the limits consistently. I find it's more of a point and shoot.
Yes, the GT3 cars offer a great experience, the 991.1 I drove was a hoot, however, all the supply/demand/over premium etc...gets a bit tiresome for me.
Therefore, the 993 is king. :thumb:
PS...
Now my secret is out, I have just ordered some of these...
