Anyone else agree that the 993 will be a future classic?, over time it will become the most (generally speaking) desirable of the aircoolers?

Ah yes, one of the all time great quotes about cars, this time by PJ O'Rourke. He called 911s "ass engined Nazi slot cars".

Now how did he find his way onto British Airways adverts? Funny fella, writes a good book.

He also described the yank's flatbed trucks and pickups as the world's only 'Beer Guided Missile'...

I just test drove a 993 Turbo and have decided to hand over full-wheel-barrow amounts of cash for it.

I'll echo what's already on this board, the 993 is the pinnacle, it has minimal Turbo lag and will pull in high gear low down, it's predessors didn't. It has reasonably good fuel economy and goes like stink! Scary!
It's look are pure poetry and balance, and I know of a few affluent 996/Turbo owners who have actually TRADED back to 993s!

All Porsches are classics, most 911s are, I mean, I LOVE 930s and old 2.7 RSs, but to me, the 993 Turbo is a classic-distilled!
