Difference between a 993 and 996 ?

[Tonyrec]

What is the main difference between a 993 and a 996.
Is there a noticeable difference in power etc and is a convertible 996 a good buy?

Sorry about so many questions

[Tonyrec]

Lol.......expected that from you

well a 996 has a water cooled engine, and the 993 has an air cooled engine. To avoid this turning into another tedious water vs air type debate, I'll leave it at this: some people like the old character, some people like the new progress.

Thanks....

Is a 996 worth the extra outlay?

Thanks for the reply.
At least i know a bit more than i did a few mins ago.

I have until the New Year to make up my mind on what type of car and its nice to explore all options.

Agree with topstuff on all points... Ive had both too (now have a gt3). I preferred the 996 myself. Just dont get a cabrio.

Why not a Cabrio?

Nice to dream but this particular one might just turn into reality
