Changing from a 993 C2 to my current 993 Turbo is fantastic! I have always been a fan of the 993 and after searching for the last 3 years in Singapore and in Malaysia, I managed to find a decent one with about 48,000 KM and it is in original condition with the exception of a set of Bilstein PSS10. I like the way the car looks and the drive is fantastic! The acceleration is addictive and it pulls away effortlessly even in the 6th gear. I seldom need to drop more than one gear to overtake on the highway. The one area where it shows that it is based on older technology is in the area of air-conditioning. In Asia, this is a must given the tropical climate. Early morning or evening drives is a great way to overcome the external heat. Overall, I am very pleased with the 993 Turbo and I highly recommend this to any air-cooled Porsche enthusiast. Everytime I take the car out, it never fails to put a smile on my face!
