A sense of occasion....
Discussion
That's it... Having finally been in the back of Ricc's 993RS I think I finally have the answer to the 993/6/7 debate.... The 993 and the 996 are two entirely different cars. Sure, they're both 911's but that's where the similarity ends. Sally will sit at 140 all day every day or crawl along in traffic without ever missing a beat. She's comfy and remarkably efficient at disposing of large distances in complete air conditioned comfort very quickly if you so wish.
The air cooled beasties seem to be a different animal all together. Alright so Ricc's is a stripped out racer but nonetheless there's a sense of occasion when you sit in her that you simply don't get in the 996. The 993 feels older (not worse, just older) yet that isn't a bad thing... It's like your favourite MILF or perhaps Jack Nicholson when he gives that menacing smile of his.
I wouldn't necessarily want to be in the RS all day long or commuting to work but when the moments right it sure hits the spot

you had to go all reasonable on us didn't you? 
plus it helps if you have a bucket to sit in rather than just being ballast

Noooo (although I know what you mean) It's like my old E30... There was a sense of occasion every time I drove that (even when I crashed it 
)
It's like the difference between a new restaurant and one with horse brassings and stone walls (sorry, couldn't resist it!) They're probably both equally good, just different.

HTH.
In the instance where he crashed it, more a sense of Ooookaaaay---*shunt*

Yes. I'm here all week. Be sure and tell your friends.
more like.but back on topic, seriously, rob your car is a porsche in name only.
no aspect of your automatic convertible could be argued to be a sports car.
its, at best, a sports car shaped car. but even that only applies to the bottom of it.
so, therefore comparing it to rics garage queen only applies in that they are indeed different, and they share a badge. other than that, its like comparing chalk and shit.
