[s-cars] Avant sold - looking for P-car

[Taka Mizutani]

Good choice- probably one of the best balances between the raw visceral feel
of the early
cars and the refinement of the later cars.

I always thought they were poseur cars (not having driven one), but the
turbo-look Carrera is
supposedly one of the best driving 911s of that era- since the premium isn't
all that much over
a clean "normal" Carrera, I'd look for a turbo-look. A neighbor down the
street has a nice black/black
turbolook.

I'm not a big fan of the 964- the dual distributor system and oil leaks are
potential issues. Also,
I don't see them as a big improvement over the earlier Carrera.

993 on the other hand, is a nice improvement overall- '98 C2S would be my
choice if I were in
the market- that would be an easy car to build up to 3.8RS spec (has the
bodywork and brakes,
just needs suspension, shifter and a ton of luck finding a sunroof delete
model).
