So why are we not surprised?? to be expected 993 just a fab motor, like the wide body, but why the 4 ? :D

Previously owned 993C4s,Like the wide body, plus all the turbo running gear, Big Reds, suspension etc. I must also say after owning both 996 & 993 , Yes the 996 Turbo was fast/rapid but on every day roads it could not be used to its full potential. I also think the 996 is not as robust as the 993.

I think I really did not get the 993 out of my system, I knew I had made a big mistake selling my original 993 for the 996. One learns as they go along. (Expensive lesson to learn).
