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)

993 series is the last 911 to ride and sound like a '911'. It will be a classic as it was the last. Its heavier than its predecessors and a bit sluggish to my feel but corners like on rails. Ones with low mileage are holding very good value. Its very computerized and I cant work on mine but some of you guys can and that will make having one much more affordable. If you can, do it. You wont look back. But there's nothing that runs and feels like a 914 either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)
