The 993 is still to my eyes the most beautiful Porsche 911 ever, and with those RUF CTR2 style bumpers absolutely unbeatable. WOW! Thanks for sharing.

997NA vs 993 turbo = not fair comparison, 993 turbo all the way.997TT maybe but probably won't be a classic like the 993. Nice 993.

Thanks guys. I really like the look of the new 997's - widebody, narrow body, turbo, NA.

They all look good to me and a big improvement over the 996 IMHO.

Especially lowered, with nice wheels and a body kit!

Kevin

Kevin/Tony,

Looks like I missed out on a good meet! The cars look great, as usual, and kudos to the photographer for the nice pics.

For those of you who like the way Kevin's car looks, you should really see that car in action! We were safely playing around on the freeway on our way to Santana Row a few weeks ago, and his red Ruf just PULLED like nothing from a roll! It was very impressive, to say the least. It was like he took off from zero to 60 (even though we were really going 65 already )

Charles,

We missed you this past weekend!!! Are you around on the 22nd? I think there are a bunch of us going to the Auto Affair event in Danville.

Still can't believe I avoided a ticket on the way to SR that day. I thought I was nailed for sure!!! phewwww!

Wish I could make it to the Danville event. I'll be in L.A. then Arizona for a few weeks for vacation. That would have been really cool to drive out again!! I felt that our drive was more fun than the meet that last time!

Yeah, that cop just wanted to scare us. But he really can't pull you over for accelerating from 50mph to 65mph Ruf Dallas did a really great job with your car and I'm strongly considering sending my car to them in the future, given the great work they've done on your car.

See you in a couple of weeks. I'll definitely come out for the next meet in July! See ya then.
