So maybe this doesn’t apply to European models.
Certainly Porsche though has taken steps since then to address the issue with its more devoted enthusiasts by introducing Club Sport and RS versions. I don’t think anyone has ever criticized the 964 RS as having too soft a suspension. However, as far as I’m aware none of the RS versions were certified for import to the US market.

...well, just another opinion of an editor...
don´t take this too serious, sure there´s been some changes in the line up, and the US market is the most important one for Porsche, but i don´t think that the 993TT is a soft boiled lawyer´s car, i don´t know that much about "US spec" versions, but i can only tell you that one has to be a very good driver to be fast in that car, but again, i´ve read so much BS in the various mags, it´s all about the editors, and the problem is, if an editor doesn´t like a model, regardless if Porsche, Ferrari or whatever the ppl, the readers, believe that the car is shit, only based on the opinion of one person who´s maybe a bad driver, or has some strong personal preferences to a specific brand...whatever...
BTW, thx TT for the cool pics
