Does the 959 count? If so that.

993 RS for me. I haven't driven a 2.7 RS yet, though find it hard to imagine that it isn't slightly over-rated. I'd have picked a 993 GT2, but I think the 993 RS is prettier, so the 993 GT2 in second place. Turbo 2 3.6 in third.

Man - do I have to spoon-feed you everything? OK - for 911wise, who despite his name, needs my list written in muppet instead of english. :|

1 993 RS
2 993 GT2
3 965 Turbo 2 3.6

All with the caveat that I haven't driven a 2.7RS.

No. That would be Classic. I think he was talking about Star Wars.

Best: of the most excellent, effective, or desirable type or quality.

Most excellent: 2.7 RS - It's on the list
Effective: 997 Turbo - Probably effective to the point of being dull
Desirable: 964 - For me the best looking 911
Quality: 993 - So we're told

How's that?

It isn't overrated , but it does depend on what you are looking for in a car.

A carrera 2.7RS won't be the quickest car around a track by modern standards but out on the road the total experience of the feedback, handling and the wonderful MFI motor makes it a wonderful car. My 2.4S gives the same & is only fractionally slower due to the lower low down torque.

I have driven plenty of 911's from Kremer modified 930's through to 996 GT3 cup cars & I have still yet to drive a car that gives me the thrill, pleasure & enjoyment that a 2.4S / RS gives on a twisty country road.
