Thumbs up Porsche 993 Carerra

Was a passenger in one earlier, had an aftermarket exhaust and sounded very nice. We agreed it felt no quicker than my scoob but when you a passenger everything seems alot quicker than what it is! Especially when your crammed in the back lol.

Saw a Carrera 4 at Santa pod not long back and was well dissopointed, when you think of a porsche you expect them to be bloody quick, and this carrera 4 got beat in most of the runs he had think he got about 14.1sec but id trade my scoob in for a porsche anyday as the build quality and luxury is miles better and id rather brag to my mates that ive got a porsche then a subaru.

270 or 285 bhp.

The thing about Porsches is they keep going fast long after most other cars have given up.

Even the newset 993's are 8 years old now!

It may not feel quicker but believe u me it is. After 60-70MPH 99.99999% of scoobs will be going backwards.

Drove a modified one yesterday (on the track) and am now saving hard.

Also drove a 996 GT3 RS, but modded for racing - now that baby was awesome - 170+ and still pulling strong. Just over 1,000kg and 390bhp
