Peak 911. I maintain that the 993 will always be the best looking generation of the 911, narrowly beating the 964. Sub Zero.
 
This generation sits in a kind of not-really-classic and not-really-modern sort of limbo for me when it comes to 911s. I think my favourite version to come out of this generation was the GT2 Evos that used to run in BPR, but aside from that I prefer the 996 generation.

Still cool though.
 
Not enough for sub zero for me, but I'm voting a very high cool

As I began to admire and adore Porsche, I've tried to become fond of a lot of older Porsches. I mostly have tried to like Porsches from between 1970 to maybe 1991. I have admired all or most 21st Century Porsches. This Porsche we're debating here is not the prettiest design, but it is anything but ugly. Bot sublime enough to warrant Sub-Zero, but I'm giving a strong Cool to this one.
 
Unpopular opinion #5849:- I'm not fond of 911s. There are a few exceptions though. The 959 (I know its not technically a 911), the flatnose and the 993. I think it must be the something to do with the lights on all the others. Anyway yes I do like this one. It also helps that it's the model where they finally fixed the suspension and actually made it handle consistently. The whale tale robs some cool points but still cool overall.
 
Love the 993 Turbo, first saw it playing need for speed high stakes as a kid in the 90s my favorite car on the game.

SZ.

I'm hardly what you would call a Porsche guy, but this is still on the very short list of sports cars that I would actually want to own instead of just drive. Everything about it comes together just right to make it a car that doesn't actively try to kill you, but still demands you have driving skill if you want to push it to its limits.

Absolutely a very solid Cool.
 
I think this is my very first Sub-Zero vote. What'd you expect from a Porsche "I like it guy"
 
Yep, it's a SZ for this one.
Not my absolute favourite, but I always liked how it looks and it's the quintessential 90's Porsche.
