Every time I see a 996, it almost looks like it is older than a 993.

Anyone else share these thoughts?

I disagree. The wild look and crazy reputation is why I'd take a Lambo over a standard Carrera.

Here is my buddy's former car. 600hp with GT seats, Fikse wheels, etc.. Very fun to drive...

There's one thing I don't get about the 996. You can sell a stock Turbo for 55k, and you'd be lucky to sell a modded Turbo for 43k.

I don't mind the look of the 996, it was something different. The facelift was much nicer. The original headlights of the 996 looked horrid with that orange in it. Looked old the day it came out.

Favourite generation though is the 993, it was the best of both modern and classic 911 IMO.

I do love all the other generations none the less.

That original Carrera RS... mama mia!
