Default Supercharged 993

Any views on the Yellow supercharged 993.

Fancy a change and a 993 is top of the list and this looks like a bit of fun

Nice car but why have they only got as far as spraying it with filler/primer?

Like Impreza Sport colour isn't it?

Bet it goes well though..

Lovely

Not keen on the colour personally- in black that would look sooo nice.
If bananaman wanted a car- it would be that.

Certainly not a car to blend in with the background

Wonder what the performance is? Can't say I like the colour, but it is a cheap alternative to the turbo prices, and you have a turbo replica.

Agree on the colour front but then again its good to stand out although it may be a pain to resell. According to the TPC website they are 350 bhp at the wheels.

They're huge fun but drive it for at least an hour or so before buying to c\heck out some of the following.......

Bad points,
Driving position takes some getting used to.
Off set pedals not to everyones taste.
Servicing interval and costs
Speed Yellow is the colour NOT to have.

Other stuff to get checked, steering geometry, if run on B roads expect to be at your friendly local steering geometry shop on a monthly if not more frequent basis, notoriously poor front suspension on 993.

I owned 1 a while back, bought from Ray Northway in Theale, Berkshire, great car but needs lots of tlc.
