Hi,

I recently started paying attention to the 911 turbos, and am totally overwhelmed by the 993TTS.

Since sampling Greg's 996TT, I have always thought that it is probably the most beautiful and intoxicating Porsche out thus far. That is until I started checking out the 993TTS. I don't know anyone who owns one so I guess I'll never have a chance for a ride, but from what I read on the net, this is an awesome car.

I'm not looking to buy either one, (my investments in the lottery have yet to pay dividends ) but just curious: Amongst you enthusiasts here on this board, which one you'd like better, and why?

If someone can post some pics of these cars, I'd much appreciate it. Also, as a long-term keeper, is the 996TT much more reliable than the 993TT?

Thanks for your education.

CP

TTS- definitely. The S is so exclusive with all the additional model-specific upgrades that it is the ultimate air-cooled 911. The 996TT is common compared to the TTS.

I'd take either without argument though

The 993 Turbo S is one of my dream cars. Talk about ultra rare. I remember when Car and Driver tested it in a nice comparo test

The 993 twin turbo S is a very cool car, and was a very limited edition (only 181 sent to US) It has 424hp,a carbon fiber interior, and special body kit....It represents the final, most powerful, air-cooled Porsche available in the US. They range in price from 150k for a bubble enclosed garage queen, to 90k for a used/driven car. I like the body and aesthetics of the 993 better, but I think a 996tt x-50 would beat it around most any track. Both cars are really desireable but by far, the 993 s is in a different league in terms of rarity and collectability. 993 s will probably hold it's value better than any 996.

My jaw drops when I see a 996TT.
I've seen dozens.

I get goosebumps when I even think about the Turbo S.
I've seen 2.

For me, the Turbo S, like the 959, is the Holy Grail of modern Porsches.

There's a 993 turbo S in my area. Only caught a glimpse of those yellow brakes once (its ALWAYS in the garage) but boy was it beautiful.

Pong, are you going to make it to concorso this year? I have seen at least one in the porsche corral each year I have been.

Given the choice, I'll pick 993 TTS all the way, one of my favorites!
