From what I am told, these cars need to be driven and not sitting around

 

No kidding. But to say someone is a pawn that is BS. They both have good and bad. I would like to have one of each. My 993TT was a pain in the *** and fun as hell. My 996's were a ton of fun too. Without the pain in the *** part.

Mine had 82k so it WAS driven..........................

 

Tim is absolutely right, no matter how you cut it, the car is still 10+yrs old and is going to need potentially major repairs($$$$) at some point. One friend of mine has spent in excess of 25k in the last 1 1/2 yrs. He has deep pockets, so it's no biggie, but just budget a fair amount for future repair work. Whatever the reason, 996 cars(TT) don't seem to be as fragile, and many can be found still under warranty, and that's a huge plus in my book. As much as I love the 993TT's, and still would love to have one as a weekend toy, that's the reality of it, imo.

 

damn....$10k is nuttin for all that!! then LABOR???!!

 

I third that.

 

If the original poster comes from "the turbo family" he can forget the GT3, no torque! everything is about torque!!!!Sonny.

 

get more power out of the 996...won't ever get your $$ back though.

 

I've also owned both and you can tell by my sig which I like better.

the993s are true classics. thus if i owned one i would be scared to put many miles on it or for that matter even get it wet the 996 was highly produced and not a real classic... i don't worry so much about driveing it . but for a dd not a chance both cars are great fun to drive if you don't drive em to much good luck

 

Love both cars, that's why a have both!!!!

 

Wow, that's a shame about having to put so much $$ into the repairs. I really like the look of the 993 vs the 996. Too bad it doesn't sound as reliable

 

The 993 NA cars I have owned over the past 10 years have been bulletproof daily drivers, cost-effective to own, and have held their value incredibly well. I am so convinced that this is the case with the 993tt that I bought one 4 weeks ago and will use it as a daily driver. After budgeting $5000 to sort it out, I have spent $430 and have a flawless, serviced, 45k mile car that I could not be happier with!
Now as far as modifications...well, that remains to be seen. PSS9s and GT2 wheels/tires already installed by PO, GT3 thicker wheel is on the way, and power mods are on deck...

 

Yes, DTA has worked for me, it is real good., Neil Harvey did the heads.,cheers, Sonny.

 

no option in my book. 993TT

 

I saw a white 993TT for sale in our local Porsche Club of America (Arizona) Magazine. I will look it up and post it for you.
