My father in law has a 98 993C2 Aero. Possibly the best looking P car ever and definitely 993 (besides the 3Gt2) of course.

I'd like to hear your driving impressions as well since I'm looking at either a 997 or 993.

VERY interesting! I pondered long and hard before deciding on my 997 C2S Cab....very happy with my car, but also yearning for the 993! Really interested in your input on the comparison!

Thanks for all the kind words. Numerous reasons why I made the switch:

- The opportunity to own what is and will always be a classic.
- The 993 should never depreciate.
- 997 drove amazing but very computerized. The 993 has a true raw handling characteristic that feels very porsche.
- In this economy less debt... lower payment... and again should not depreciate.
- Classic porsche styling.

i was thinking the same thing.

i'm torn between getting a 993 c2s or a 997 S. do the feel the 993 is considerably down in hp? the 993 in the aero kit makes it the best looking 911 ever. close runner up is this:



i've also considered a 3.6L 965 but i have a feeling that will cost more than either of aforementioned cars.
