Many would argue (me included) that going from a 993 to a 997 isn't necessarily a "step up". A 997 is just like any other really nice, really high performance car...like an M3 for example.

And those many, would of course, largely be 993 owners

Air-cooled 911's = REAL 911

Water-cooled 911's = :thumbsdown:

A simple read of Paul Frere's incredible book, the 911 Story, will be all you need to convince you're wrong. Porsche did the right thing, for the right reasons.
