I own the Blue Turquoise 911 cabriolet convertible with manual transmission. I am the only owner and she has 33,000 miles on her. I do own 3 cars and in my life with her had 5 cars. I lived 15 years in a mountain ski town in California, she stayed in the garage on a charger most of the time. I did drive her from Mammoth Lakes via hwy 120 through the Sierra mountains 2 times and loved how she handles, as I could take those mountain curves, via Yosemite, so well without using the brakes. She handles perfectly. I like her nice simple style way better than the new 2 seater Porsches. I have people ask to buy her, but she is so perfect, I can’t let her go. I want to keep the low milage, but do drive her every 2 weeks for about 15 miles. I do have a 2018 Executive turbo Panamera, I drive her 2 twice a week , to dinners, to meet friends. But my work car is a 2005 Hummer. I never see another of those. Low milage on all my cars. As for the 1997 993, well she stays with me until the DMV takes away my license. Very good value, she has never had a mechanical problem. How many cars last so long? Yes she is nice and fast too. I love it when I run into a mini race with another driver, as I win every time Mar 06, 2024

One of the most collectible Porsche 911 cars you can buy (993)! Best and last of the air cooled 911 Models. They are expensive and will get more so. If you are fortunate enough to drive one you will quickly see why they are valued as they are.May 23, 2020

With 272 horse power this car can still hold it's self to the new boy,
and with less tech this is one of the lightest base 911's ever. With
looks that the 997 is trying to have but can't get a grasp on the 993 is
not a car you have to drive but just look at it. The 993 generation was
the most important gen of all the 911's, it was the first to have a bi-
turbo, four wheel drive turbo, gt2 model, and much more. If you buy
a 993 it will cost more that a newer faster 996, but the 996 was ugly
and did not have the feel at the wheel the 993 had or the optional
radar detector that you could get under the dash. For many reasons I
would go for the 993 rather then the 996 over even 997.Apr 02, 2010

A MT NA aircooled 911! My only complaint is that it is not lightweight enough.
Achieving 180mph without a hitch. Need I say more? And it's absolutely fun on twisty roads as well!
Go buy youself a 911, I mean it!Oct 01, 2009

My dream car, there is nothing I want more except a Turbo S of the same vintage or Carmenr Electra. When I put the bigger turbos on it should be near perfect...well that and maybe some coil overs, and some HRE's, and exhaust, well, maybe it will never stop...Jul 27, 2008

There is nothing to dislike about this car, plenty of power, amazing grip, superb handling, solid build quality, turns heads wherever it goes and always puts a smile on my face. Clutchless gearchange takes a little getting used to but is rewarding when you have it sussed.
The only addition I am thinking about is a roll cage! Jul 22, 2008

the summer when i was 15 i worked for a start-up who bought 6 of these badboys ... i didnt have my license... i had no idea what i was doing... but i quickly learned how fast it can go across the dunbarton bridge, and how fast it can get to the San Mateo Bridge from the Dunbo... then i also learned after a week... how it can, if you hit a pothole at the right angle and speed, spin out horribly and smash into a lamp post and how the engine compartment (read: the back half of the damn car) can come off...
...
it was really fun while it lasted...

This is one of the last air cooled 911 turbo's (993 series). I like its bold styling and iconic shape. With the 996 series (the next model) Porsche changed the formula and developed water cooled engines. Thus forcing them to design a longer front end to accommodate the radiators, losing some of the great proportions of the original 911s. More recent 911s (the 997 series) attempt to recapture the 993 series styling of the 993, with its round headlamps, clean front end, broad shoulders, and muscular rear end. Despite having been introduced over a dozen years ago, the 993 Turbo acheived 0-60 mph in less than 4.0 seconds (Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Road & Track).Jan 21, 2008
