They See Me Rollin' - Porsche 993 Edition

Holy mother of #$%& – a genuine and pristine RUF CTR2, otherwise known as a unicorn when it comes to 993-based creations.

Look at that rear end with the integrated spoiler where its mid-section doubles up as an air intake to feed the two intercoolers that are housed behind the rear arches. Look at that vented rear bumper. And the iconic wheels. And look the faultless black paint. I’m truly thankful to the owner for giving me the OK to grab a few photos of it.

Of course, I had to take a look at the RUF-tuned Turbo motor that boasts 520hp. This is a car that could accelerate from 0-60mph in 3.6-seconds and had a top speed of 217mph – 22 years ago. Think about that for a moment… These are numbers you associate with modern day supercars.

These Are Worth The Price Of Admission

Five iconic 1990s cars that you can probably afford to buy now

Porsche 911 (993) Carrera

Porsche’s 993 generation 911 Carrera tops our list. It’s practically the ultimate ‘90s dream car of all. There is one in Beverly Hills that sells for only $50,000. This Carrera was a ’95 model that travelled for at least 76,000 miles.

This coupe is packed with 270 hp 3.6L engine and is mated with a 6-speed manual transmission. The 993 convertibles could come cheaper while a GT2 version Carrera could be priced at $1M.

Toyota Supra

Toyota Supra is also one of the epic nineties cars that we love to this day. A brand new Supra Turbo costs more than $40,000 in 1990. Then, in 1993 until 2002, the Supra came out with its 4th generation model, which comes with a 320 hp twin turbo 2JZ engine. The prices ranged from $100,000-$120,000 back then.

Acura NSX

Honda also makes it to the list with the Acura NSX. How can we forget one of the best ‘90s cars? The NSX was the only car that intimidated Ferrari when it first came out.

As for the price, the NSX costs more than $60,000 in the nineties. But now, you can have one for as low as $30,000. Still a substantial resale value after all these years.

Just Some Cooler Than Air Classics

6 Cars That Make Us Love Air-Cooled Engines

Be it a 12bhp flat-twin or a fire-breathing turbocharged monster, air-cooling definitely had its place in the automotive community

Porsche 911 993 GT2

Named after the racing series that these homologation specials were required for, the 993 GT2 was the last air-cooled 911 ever manufactured by Porsche. With widened wheel arches and a massive rear wing featuring those stunning integral air intakes, the first ever GT2 paved the way for the most extreme road-going cars within the 911 range.

Producing 438bhp and 432lb ft of torque from its air-cooled engine, the 993 quickly became known as a widowmaker due to being rear-wheel drive and having a low kerb weight of 1295kg. The 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat six was capable of propelling the GT2 from 0-60mph in just 3.9 seconds and topping out at 187mph – seriously impressive figures from a mid-90s car. Only 57 were ever built making for seven figure values in today’s Porsche-crazy market.

No Question, The 993 Please

The GREAT Debate: Would You Rather Have A 993 Or 991 For $160k?

Over the past 10 or so years it's been truly remarkable to watch the high-end, used car market.

Cars that were once thought to have seen their good days go flying past have exploded in value.

Two examples that come to mind are the Ferrari Testarossa and Porsche 911. Whether it's a 993 or a 964, these cars are commanding top dollar. As long as it's air-cooled and has a manual gearbox, you will see pretty crazy prices.

And, well, V12s have always demanded a premium.

While I know this market has become rather inflated as of late, I get reminded every now and then how insane it's become. Today, I ran across an Instagram by a local specialty shop. It showed a picture of a gorgeous black 993 Turbo. The asking price was nearly $160,000.

The price for an all-new 911 Turbo is just under $160,000.

So, I've got to ask: WHICH would you rather? The 993 or the 991?
