i'm the same. my tts has 4400 miles but i won't baby it. i'll drive it anywhere and i'll drive it in the rain or any weather. i've never cared where i park any of my cars but i will say that the tts is about as special as they come looks wise. it just looks like the Porsche the original engineers imagined.

it's funny most guys are rolling to a gt3rs. i put 6000 miles on mine the first year i had it and it's still one of my favorites to drive.

 

I drive both of my 993s as often as I can. I have had the '96 993TT on the track many times as well but have not done so with the '97 TTS. The combination of styling, proportion, horsepower and light weight is just too much not to enjoy. It is a beautifully organic design with its wide hips and narrow waist. No matter where I go the TTS gets a lot of attention and deservedly so.

The only other car I have seen recently that IMO, in addition to the 993 TTS, represents the epitome of Porsche engineering for the street is the 1994 964 Turbo S Flachbau. I saw a Pearl White one almost identical to a car that Steve (spg993tt) owned a while ago. It was parked in front of a strip mall not far from where I live. I almost crashed while craning my neck to stare at it!

 

TurboS are indeed rare and special to own. But that doesn't make a regular Turbo a "joke" or "average" car by any mean. All depends on how much you want to spend. I've seen 2-3K miles regular TT going for for as high as $90K and TTS with 30K miles selling as low as $85K. IMO, the S are that much as special because the regular TT are so well loved. For the price of an S I would rather buy 2 regular TT and drive/mods the **** out them. And if one really wants something truly special then one should buy a 3GT2 or a Ruf CTR-2..

 

vincent your tt is far from average but you also have twice as much money as most do in it.

average comment is simple. not that it's an average car but that it's the average priced 911. most new cars sell for 100k to 140k and most used ones sell for 30k to 80k. simple math makes a 70k average. that's it.

30k tts selling for 85k has been wrecked. not as new.

yes find me a 993gt2 streetable (about 6 left in the world) and I would love to have that in my garage. I looked and looked but couldn't justify the 300k plus sticker shock. they are the last bad ars porsche made. no questions asked.

Ruf CTR-2 just doesn't excite me only for the reason that I like stuff stock. It's cool and different and fast without question. It's just not something that will be in my garage ever.

 

ok Vince here ya go now step up to the plate and buy it

My friend that's my job to find and post cool cars for you not the other way around. Besides I in the minor league so it doesn't matter if I can step up to plate. OK everyone lets all help Mr. H2OSKIER find a nice white 993GT2.

 

Vincent,

Ill get some pics and post a thread about it once I go take a look at it. I can't wait.
Seems like a great price for a Sport.

 

The only negative aspect of owning a 993ttS for me is that I wouldnt let anyone even breath on it. I'd turn into Cameron's father from Ferris Bueller's day off, "who does he love? THE CAR!!"

 

Vincent,

Here are some crappy cell phone pics of the Yellow CTR2 Sport that is for sale here in MN.

 

Thanks Luis any more infos on mileage, price etc...?

 

8300 miles. $230k. It was in great shape IMO.

 

Thanks Luis.
