New To Me 1996 993T

I just acquired about 2 weeks ago. 34.5K miles. Looking forward to holding on to this one for many years. Hope they continue to appreciate. Love the looks of the car. Also have the original wheels/tires. Had these HRE's powder coated.

Thanks for the compliments. Love this car. Recently traded back my 2014 991 C4S.
The 993 turbo is pure sports car, the 991 was more GT car. Took the 993T out for a great drive through the hills today. The car handled super. Can't wait to get my PS10's installed (on order). Planning to lower the car another inch. Will post pictures when its done.

How. much of a difference do the H&R sway bars make to steering and handling?

Lol. I'm doing the same thing...selling my 991 4S for a 993TT. I'm looking for more driver engagement and to me, the 991 falls short.

Congratulations.

Welcome to the club! I hope you enjoy yours with utter abandon. I've had mine since 2002. They only get better and better...
