    Took delivery of my 993 Turbo S (with pics)

    Took these a couple hours after delivery. What an experience this car has been. It's total different to the 997, much more raw. The car sounds great with the muffler bypass pipes installed on the car. The power for a 11 year old car is brutal! I think this is as quick as the F430 4600ft above sea level.

    Can't wait to drive this thing more tomorrow!

    What a car, love the ride height too! The car seems good  as new..

    Just a tiny criticism, I think there's too much space between your exhaust tips and the car, they should be higher, imo...

    Haha, thanks for the kind words guys. I can't wait for dawn to break tomorrow so I can get behind the wheel again.

    @Porker: I noticed that when I picked the car up, I'm going back to the dealer to pick up a few items and will have it adjusted for it to sit more flush with the bumper. I just wanted to take delivery already Thanks for pointing that out none the less! Smiley

    It feels stronger than a 430 because it is.

    At high altitudes, turbo'd engines are always stronger than normally aspirated engines. Thin air is the enemy of NA engines. Thin air actually IMPROVES the the efficiency and thermals of a turbo. .

    True! Try it at sea level or on a hot day and you will see the dawnfalls of turbocharging! Smiley

    FERRARI RULES!!!

    Re: Took delivery of my 993 Turbo S (with pics)

    Very nice Mike. Take good care of this car as it is definitely a classic, The Guards Red is fantastic, only pure black would look as nice.


    Re: Took delivery of my 993 Turbo S (with pics)

    Absolutely beautiful, congrats Smiley.

    997 TT, what a car/che'mmmmmaghena!!!

    Re: Took delivery of my 993 Turbo S (with pics)

     When at first I read that you had bought a red Turbo S, I thought to myself, it's a pity that it is red...

    but now after having seen these photos, I must say, that I'm blown away by its beauty. I have already mentioned quite a lot of times that the 993 series is my favorite 911 generation, and this red one really is something special. It looks so good under the sun!

    Congrats Mike, yet again

    993 TTS.. classic shape and noise! A friend let me drive his around skidpan here at Eastern Creek once and was huge fun.

    Values here in Australia hold up well with bottom end of 996TT now falling below them while 993 holding steady.. 993 series will always be a true enthusiasts pick! (also I suspect a 997 GT3 will turn out to be)

    Have fun :-)


    Re: Took delivery of my 993 Turbo S (with pics)

    MIKE ! i CAN'T FIND ANY WORDS ANY MORE TO EXPRESS HOW HAPPY I'M FOR YOU. COLOR IS JUST GREAT AND THE SOUND OF IT JUST

    eNJOY IT ON A DAILY BASES.
