996tt vs. 993tt HP Comp
Anyone have any insight comparing money/time to tune a 993tt comp to a 996tt (upwards of 650hp). I love my 996 but really like the look and sound of the 993 more. Thanks

Excellent question.
I am also wondering the same thing, since I'll be looking into a TT model in the future.
Really love the lines of the 993, but curious about power potential and reliability of the air-cooled models.
