damn, torque is gud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I think it has a 3.6L in it. Very nice driving car. I could easily drive one as my daily driver. One thing, I found the shifting "odd", but thats prolly cause I am so used to my 914 shifting. This thing hugged the road like a sports car should, but when we hit rough pavement, it just floated over smoothly. Very responsive steering. But the one thing that jarred me outta my happy little world time and time again, was the brakes. This thing could stop on a dime. Me likes it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

If you want an air cooled 911 with AC that works, power to spare, comfort and convenience, the 993 is it. We (wife drove it most of the time) had one for a couple of years. The prices are coming down and it is a buyer's market according to Bruce Anderson. It is not a do-it-yourself maintenance car unless you're a lot more mechanic than me. Because of the angle of the hose to the oil tank it takes forever just to add a quart of oil. Try to pour it like a normal car and you have oil on the floor the next day and take it to the shop to ask about the oil leak! Have to drop the exhaust to change the plugs. Plan on pro service and write a big check every 15K miles. Great car!
