when i was working in weissach i`d been lucky ( ...or industriously ) enough to drive both, the 993TT and the latest 996TT.
for sure the 996 is technically simply the better car, more than 70kg lighter, better handling, better gas mileage, the engine is more powerful and reliable, comfort....
:arrow: BUT..... the die hard fans simply love the 993 shape!!!
haven`t you read my post on racflix about the upcomming Porsche modells??? thats exactely what Porsche is up to...back to the 993 shape...
but to your question, it`s not mainly the shape that the real fans are mad of...it`s the sound!!! no other engine sounds like a Porsche 6cyl. boxer air cooled engine... i can`t describe you the difference, you just have to hear it and you know what i mean. it`s the unmistakable roar of the air cooled boxer engine. and when you have driven both, i think you`d stick to the 993 too.....
