Quote:Incorrect. Parts for an M3 are bad. Parts for a porsche 993 are astronomical. I was looking into buying a 944 turbo before my rx7 days.As I understand it, the 944s (especially turbos) were a maintenence anomoly that didnt apply to the 911s. A friend of a friend runs a porsche repair shop said that older 911s were dead reliable and reasonably cheap to maintain. Of course that could be relative (like to a ferrari), or he could be bias, but a few others have said similar things (like Payton Wilson - ironically right after he couldnt get the car into 3rd gear) of course YMMY and all that.

The mid-90s 300z has always been shunned by those who call themselves "true" Z enthusiasts because of its departure from a raw sports car to a cruiser. This is a large reason why Nissan released a "Track model" of the new Z.
Quote:You might be the only person on earth that likes the TTs.Not sure how these "other people on earth" relate to the discussion, but having spent considerable time in both cars, at the limit, on the racetrack, I think the TT is a vastly superior performance vehicle.
My opinions are based more on pure performance than street daily driving, but the thing about the 993 is that it does both perfectly.
