Maybe I'm not old enough to understand that the 993 and previous are so much better....but I'll definately find out...I'm looking at buying an 86 911 from a buddy of mine, if the price is right.

I promise I will drive other cars before I choose.

And John...hahahahahaha....that's funny as shit man!

so, ah....how are the older ones better in that respect? i thought they were the kings of sneaky evil handling unless you were some kind of pro?

you are correct. if that end starts coming around, it's gonna keep going and going. i forget when they corrected it, but they did and now they've almost overdone it.

i think zee Germans started to tame it around the 993 era. something like a rear suspension that had a toe curve that helped the lift-off oversteer.

but practically speaking, if someone like Aaron, who has no prior experience with a high powered rwd car, wanted to get into a porsche 911, i would think the 996 would be the best to start with.

Drive them and you'll get it. The 996 is too sanitized... its like a "toyota carrera". Part of the car's character is its eeeeevill handling characteristics, sweet air-cooled noises and round headlights Wink
