If I was ever to get a porsche it would be the 993 turbo, end of story.



Turbo S would be gorgeous too, but that the 993 turbo, 997 gt3/turbo are not fair comparisons to the FD given the differences in price.

Very true. But still, there's a warranty and you can track the ever living **** out of them off the showroom floor.

Well, after hoping for a true 4th gen RX-7 and consideration and searching for a Dino 246GT or 997 GT3, I have settled and ordered an '12 Lotus Evora S as my weekend driver. I could only wish it had a 400 Hp rotary in it. I am keeping the RX's but also realize that I am stretching my time between them. Gordon how do you do it?

When I sell my FD it'll be to upgrade to a 95 to 97 911(993).
and it'll have the sunburst wide body kit just like RWB here.

RWB kits are proprietary aero kits developed by in-house, not by Sunburst!

OK, I bit the bullet and turned my NSX into a 500 HP beast this month.

More pics of the NSX please!!! A super charged or turbo'd NSX really does validate the car. I've heard so many times "great car but not enough power"

Finally got the NSX tuned Saturday. 10.8 psi. We did it on the Street so no real numbers, I'll dyno it in December.

Man, what a different car. Just blows the tires...
