Some of you may know me from being a 993 owner, others will be thinking 'blummin cheek'.
Regardless, I am a true 911 fanatic and have been for many years.
Although it sounds like a sales pitch....
My 993 is erm... track orientated. Lowered on TechArt springs, and on Bilstein HDs, it has an RS+5 set-up. I run it on 17s and 18s, depending on when I'm doing my next track day. Bear with me, I'll get to the point.
Buying a wobbly 1980s cab, I was expecting a huge difference between the two cars. I was very wrong.
The Supersport is almost as focussed, almost as 'hard' in it's handling, almost as confidence-inspiring as the 993. In the dry.
Instead of an expected light-nose and wandering steering, it's tight and direct, kart-like. There doesn't seem to be any scuttle-shake.
It's absorbing, but not frightening. I was expecting to have to push much harder to get the rewards, and then maybe be bitten hard by the rear trailing-arms....but the rewards are there, at sane speeds, in spades, with a car shot through with deep character.
The 993 is a car that does everything (for me), but the Supersport is so much closer to this perfection than I was expecting.
So my big question is..... what are the earlier cars like!!!!!!!
