I think i have seen this car floating around before. Look good in the PH ad.

What are the thoughts? Barring the colour, I would have to admit that the car would be appealing if I was looking for a convertible 993...

Is the chassis stiff enough to support the extra 120 odd bhp?

What can be expected from the performance?

I wonder why the new engine? .. surely the n/a 993 lump can take the extra puff? .. Unless the original engine went pop .. And if so , why ?
I wonder why the full re-spray?
Also no mention of service history...


Nice though!!

Depends on your peddling abilities. I wouldn't want a 993 with that much power unless it had a roof.

Don't think body kits work on convertibles, but do like the idea of a supercharger.

Nice house though.

You definatley need to drive the supercharged car quite a bit before you buy. I had one and took it off, though most others seem to like them.

I thought it subdued the responce, though the power was there. It also fluttered a bit at around 4000 revs. It may be mine could have been iprved, but a great deal of time at already been spent on it in Warrington
