993 model Turbo 4 S - Nice!

[pdavison]

Henry appears to have a bit of a gem:

If only I had double the amount of money I am currently budgeting on spending on the replacement for the Cerbera!

Thought the Turbo S had 450 BHP, not the 430 stated in the advert?

Not that it's relevant on a 430HP machine but ask Henry what the mileage is

You are correct Martyn, UK versions have 450bhp the US versions have 430bhp.

With 450 it will be no quicker than yours due to the weight, the S has so much extra trim on it.

Would you mind saving me the trouble of asking and letting me know what the mileage is. Cheers.

Sorry I don't know, my comment is an 'in' joke pertaining to the strange response you will get if you ask Henry what the mileage is. Go on I dare you!!

[barryj]

Yes; I've read the previous posts on the subject so I know what to expect. I'm interested to know the mileage but don't want the grief of having to ask. If anyone finds out, please let me know.

some guy on the phone told me 41k

don't see what the fuss is about

Well, to tell you the truth I was trying to justify the upgrade if you can call it that from my TT. Problem is that the 40BHP difference seems expensive at around £15K. Although I love the black exterior, I prefer my grey interior.
If I was hell bent on more power and the suspension I might go for it?

Anyone want to make me an offer on my TT? 37K miles, as featured in 911 & porsche world turbo supplement....

[henry-F]

I got a friend to phone up and ask for me. 39,000 miles.

That was easy. I guess I shouldn't believe everything I read on the forum. Thanks Henry.

an extra £15K? What mods could you buy for that? Maybe even the ducted rear wings

But it would still not be a factory "S"
The S is a rare car .

Oh let's not get into what the cars are and are not! Everyone knows Porsche usually only stick the S badge on to get rid of the last of their stock! Ok, so the 993 Turbo S was actually something quite special with 450bhp, different suspension and K24's, but is it 30% better than a normal TT? Tricky...

But you're right, it wouldn't be an S, it would be a gorgeous arena red TT and a Caterham for the track!

Classic.

For days I kept going on Henry's site for a drool over this turbo S then noticed it had sold. Oh well I thought, saved me having to rob a bank. Next thing I know one exactly the same pops up for sale on the Camtune site, but for £15k more than Henry was asking!!!

Is this the same car????
