The only thing is the 993s are often more expensive than the 996s b/c of their high demand due to air cooled last “true” porsche…but 993s are so fucking hot, although the interior of the 996 is scores better…fuck…The 4S is a bitch to find for a decent price too…Plain Jane C4s are pretty easy to pick up inexpensively, but narrow body 993s just aren’t as hot… PS - I obviously wouldn’t get gray interior ---

after owning a Porsche, the best advice i could give u is learn how to rip that car apart and put ti back to gether yourself…the Porsche dealer totally ass-rapes u on everything. at one point i was gonna take mine there for an oil change because i wasnt sure how to do it without making a mess (im not that stupid, just the way the oil filter is mounted on a 944 is a bit strange) and they wanted like $90 or something absolutely rediculous for an oil change. other than that i like the 993 a lot. i’ve sat in both the 993 and the 996 b4, and me being a bigger guy, i persoanlly like the 996 better because it is a little bit bigger and has a little more leg room. grated, ive never met you, so if u can fit in the 993 and be comfortable, then by all means go for that one cuz those r sweet. ---

Be prepared to pay out the ass for maitenence if its your daily, I think they hold like 13 or so quarts of oil for example, cool 150 bucks to change the oil for starters. ---

Changes are recommended every 5000 miles. ---

Yank out the flat ass seats in it and put in a set of recaros and its fine IMHO. If you want pimp interior and all the other BS go buy something else. Jeller ---

Keep the evo for a daily, you drive a 997 in one winter its going to look like shit inside and out. I can see it as a daily in the summer but if you can afford a 997, you can buy something more practical to drive in the shitty buffalo winters.
