    993 Turbo

    is the base model corvette c6 faster than 993 turbo, thinking of buying one because i keep on getting smoked at stop lights in my 996, also i find it reaaly hard to keep up with the standard c6... any thoughts i can buy a 993 turbo for about 55k with 45k miles

    Re: 993 Turbo

    As far as i know the 993Turbo should be as fast, if not not faster than the C6. If its a Turbo S then its another story...

    Why not look for a tuned 996 TT. It's going to be cheaper than a 993 Turbo don't you think? 996 TT values are going through the floor since the 997TT was announced.

    I think a tuned 993TT would be even better (and that resale value will always be there)...

    Re: 993 Turbo

    the reason to go with the 993 is that it was the last aircooled, more "hand made" more "passion" better resale...I would never buy an early 996 over a 993...NEVER! lol.

    Re: 993 Turbo

    Hmm, I like the motivation for getting a new car... getting smoked at the stop lights. Why don't you install NOS on your 996 Turbo? ...maybe you can change the gear ratio as well to make it quicker 0-60... and throw out the back seats, should spare some weight. Okay mate, I am out of good ideas.

    Re: 993 Turbo

    I never had a 993. Wanted one but could never afford it. Whilst I see you are clearly amused by my suggestion, (NEVER! lol.), I found my 996 to be a good car . OK. Perhaps not as hand made as 993. Perhaps a 993 has more passion-though what does that mean? But I have to say personally I'd buy a much earlier 911 if I wanted a car for resale, character and the old Porsche 'feel', but as a cheap (now) reliable quick car, I still rather like the 996.
