993TT owners?

I've toyed with the idea of dumping my weekend warrior, my RS, this fall and jump into a F355, but after all the recent 993TT threads and pics on here (and after reading up on F-car maintenance), I've decided that what I really want is a 993TT. A whole other car than my 2200 pound, hardcore little devil - yet very much the same. And aesthetically perfect.

I know the overall what-to-look-for-in-a-used-P-car, but some specific 993TT-words of advice before I begin hunting? Do they require valve adjustment? Do they have DME relay failures every now and then like the 964s?

I think you should keep your RS!

No valve adjustment on 993, yes always good to keep a spare DME relay with you.

Solid overall cars, values are flying right now.

Thanks I absolutely love it ... but there's no denying in the looks of a 993. Maybe I'll have both ...

Thanks bro. Your air-cooled knowledge is amazing!

That would be like riding in the back of a limo after this. Plus, from an economical point of view, I love the idea of the air-cooled 911s where you can buy one, drive it for a year and then make 10 grand.
