What next, if not Pork?

Yes, I think the TT is a hard act to follow, the banana is the first sports car I have not wanted to sell after 4 weeks..honest!
Other cars are faster, handle better, look better....but none combine all three in such a cohesive package as the TT IMHO.
That said if I had the means to do so, a RUF R turbo would be on the cards....full 590 Nardo spec and all. I cannot think of another car that does the business so completely as the three R turbo models
Germanic white socks and black slip-ons here we come.

and yet you seem to be thinking about doing so already Master Mod.
Maybe in a few years, I have much to learn of the 911 yet I think.
As an aside, hopefully a Yorkshire chap I have been chatting to via Rennlist.com will be registering on here soon. He has a 993TT with equal or more power than any 911 to have attended Brunters so far.....honest.

More than 510bhp? Now that sounds interesting
Sorry for the ignorance Martyn, but could you sum up in say, 3 simple short bullet points, the main difference between your and M.Rexs 993TTs and Daz's 996TT - I, probably totally wrongly, assumed the later car would have more power, better handling - is this not the case?
The car is about 550/560 bhp at the moment I think.
The main diffs between the 993TT and 996TT in my honest opinion are:
1) 996 is more refined and comfortable, at the *slight* expense of driver involvement compared to the 993. The older car is more raw and soulfull....it is the ultimate (and last) evolution of the air cooled turbo.
2) Power - if you compared Daz's X50 with an X50 993 of the same power output there would be nothing in it in a straight line until the speeds get silly (> 150) where the slicker aerodynamics of the 996 give a big advantage (ask DeR about this!).
3) Handling - 996 wins! The PSM traction / stability control gives superior handling in all conditions.
Go for rides in both at Brunters and see what you think.
Is this fair Daz? Would really like to hear others opinions on this!
Have a good weekend all.
Martyn.
