993

[Redeem]

I bought a 993 tt last week and it is great, I love it, it is very different from 996tt. There is a beautiful 993 RS body styled for sale at jZM. I have never seen such a car before, what people think about this car ?

I don't know why they say "convincing" when it doesn't even have an RS spoiler amongst other bits? Other than that it looks tidy.

This Striking 993 Carrera 2 has to be one of the most convincing RS styled 993's we have seen for a while. If you are looking for a 993 with a more purposeful look this is the car for you.......
                                                                                                                          ........This is a very special 993 and will need to be viewed to be fully understood.

What about the one sold by Paul Stephens, is it any better ? One of my good friends is keen to buy a good 993 in this budget.

I like the RS 'look' and would consider it if I was buying a 993 now.

I really like the JZM one. I dont really get the 'its not an RS' argument. No, its not an RS, so what? Whats wrong with a Carrera with some RS additions?

Be carefull I inspected a "real" one with sport hardbacks rear seats and a sunroof!
I just never fancied cutting it about though if I ever had the nose painted I would have lost the washer jets,its been a joy to own.

I understand your train of thought,but perhaps a bit harsh it is still a Genuine Porsche 911 after all,hardly parallel with the Fake rolex,just remove the RS badge you still have a lovely car chap!

For me it's just the badge pretence. Why would you want to pretend that you had an RS? Nothing wrong with the look but fake badges and logos are always naff. If it's a standard Carrera with a few go-faster bits then be proud of it as exactly that and leave the RS logos for the real thing. Would you stick a Turbo badge on the back of a C4S? How pathetic would that appear? Amounts to the same thing.

I agree, my 993 C2 has some RS additions(small RS bodykit etc), and when I bought it the wheel centre caps had RS on them, so the first thing I did was change them for Porsche crested ones. The rest of the badges/decals say Carrera.

I agree about the badge its just wrong. But I think adding RS bits to your own spec is great as long as it is done well.
