For me, the Porsche handled amazingly well but just felt like it didn't have enough power.

It drives fantastic. The engine builds power in a very predictable fashion. It sticks to the road like glue and is easy to control when accelerating out of the pocket. I just personally feel that, for that price, you should be getting more bang for your buck.

My personal choice would be a modded 135 over a stock 4s. The handling isn't anywhere as perfect as the Porsche, but it's just more.... fun.

Nice 911 !

Damn , bang on target.I have been looking to talk this topic out for quite some time.My lease expires soon and am considering an upgrade into Porsche territory....buy a cayman s probably..though 911 is a car that I want to own someday( 40 th B'day probably).I haven't test driven either but am very interested in your comment.

I realise that N55 pumps all that torque at a low rpm...but ...but....

.I would appreciate anyone who could chime in this topic.

I love my 135 though...I love it as much as my wife hates it( she can't drive a stick)

T-Dubbs · 03-26-2013, 10:34 PM

if you are going to buy a Porsche, buy the Turbo!

Isdaako · 03-28-2013, 08:51 AM

That BMW looks so dated and plain next to the 911. Probably a post on the 911 forum, "Looked what parked next to me!"

luvthestck · 03-28-2013, 11:29 AM

The 1'er was never known for its looks.More interested in how it drives compared to a cayman s/911 s.

The 1'er doesn't photograph well from some angles but in that picture I actually think it looks better than the bug-eyed Porsche. Blasphemy, I know.

I agree.

Cemoto · 03-30-2013, 07:08 PM

I'm fortunate in that I own both. Two 993's and the 135i.

All are different in their own way.

The 1'er is smooth, powerful, very fast, and extremely agile. I call her "The silver bullet". She begs to be flogged.

My '95 993 coupe ( 'The beast" ) is well planted w/ a clubsport suspension. The sound of an air-cooled flat six is intoxicating. It is 273 HP, normally aspirated and r/l in third gear tops out around 90mph.

The '95 993 cab is 4 wheel drive w/ a touring suspension, loaded with leather ("Evergreen"), and much easier to drive, almost more of a woman's car. (No offense intended to the ladies). It was $104K when new in '95.

It is hard to single one out as best, but if I was allowed to keep only one it would be the coupe. Not to say I don't love the 135i because that would be farthest from the truth. I smile every time I drive it. It is mush faster than the normally aspirated 993.

I've driven a 996 and found it too plastic and small inside for my taste.

None are daily drivers so there is a tremendous sense of occasion every time I turn the key, it doesn't matter which one.

Regards,

.

I suspect my next car will be a 993 C2S. Definitely the direction I'm heading at this point in my car interest.
