to the people who say NSX's have a dated interior, they arent familiar with porsche. look at the interior of the 993! the physical chassis has been the same from 73-98. the interior was only "updated" because of new manufacturing processes and materials. its very very basic and doesnt have any amenities.
on topic: 993 911 Turbo GT2! although these are significantly more than a current gen TT mostly because they are rare now. hard to find. the cheapest i have ever seen them is 100k for an ok condition. i test drove the 911 cab and its nice but has a super heavy flywheel so throttle response is slow. the turbo prolly has a bit lighter but not by much.
i like both cars but go porsche. the nsx has gone out of production and is being resurrected soon. unless you want to wait for the new nsx go german! |

Agreed that the 993's interior is basic, but he's looking at a 2002-2003 911 which is a 996 and is a little more up to date looks wise (not as barren as the 993, more of a daily driver interior - cup holders, option for a Bose sound system and CD changer 2002-on, etc) while the 03-05 NSX interior hasn't changed that much looks wise from the 91 NSX he previously had. My friend has a 993 4S and I had a 2001 Boxster (interior pretty much the same as a 996) so I'm pretty familiar with both. |

| i just looked at buying a 2002 911 cab....the interior did seem a bit dated to me. the redesign in 2006 has a much improved interior. i couldn't see paying over $50K for a used car with a pretty plain-jane interior like that. |

haha your one of the few. most have never put their face up to a 993 let alone driven the 993 and 996.
kimchi: there is a significant price difference but starting power is also significantly different. |

Yeah, well I probably won't be seeing any more of them since I now have a mortgage to pay for 27 more years :( I can't see paying so much for a car now when I could just pay off a big chunk of my home loan or use it for a remodeled kitchen or bathroom. My next car will probably be a Civic or something :) Cheaper insurance, depreciation isn't as depressing, cheaper service + parts and good gas mileage! |

I am done throwing money away into depreciation.

why not get the new Shelby cobra 500?
500 horses and money leftover for massive upgrades? |

I seriously think I am by far the poorest person on here.
You people talk about expensive ass cars while I can barely afford what I have. And saying "barely" is being generous! |

I plan on "moving on up" in a few months. I want to buy weekend/"fun" car and I've narrowed my choises to a 996TT or Acura NSX. The thing is, I use to have a 91 NSX, and when it comes to sport cars the reliability of the NSX cant be beat. then again a 02-03 Porsche TT has 415HP and if you pay a little more for the X-50 package you have 450HP
I was just curious if there are any 996 0r 993 TT (Twin Turbo) owners or those who have test driven the car who an give some input
Thank you:cool: |
Aren't you the guy that was calling people racist epitaphs in a prior thread last weekend?
