So far on PCAR it’s been super shady with crazy affiliations and conflicts of interest with a lot of the sellers as in someone involved in founding and running pcar also owns the car, etc. I have high hopes for PCAR but to say they have had a rocky start would be a major understatement. So far most of the commentary is mainly a bunch of fluffers and cheer leaders versus actual important info.

I can site multiple cases where friends purchased cars off BaT that were completely & blatantly misrepresented and info clearly omitted or covered up by the seller. You don't need to know Porsche's or cars in general for anyone to see the issues. The sellers were out and out dishonest and lied through their teeth. When I tried to comment on the BS and shoddy paintwork my comments were withheld or I was scoffed at by the blowhards. Two 993 Turbos I knew of personally that should have brought far more I later found out through credible sources sold to friends of BaT. The fair reserve they requested BaT would not honor and the cars barely met reserve due to countless stupid comments about stupid things that had no impact on the value. The nonsense was laughable and caused a low bid but they covered the additional grand or two to make the car sell. As far as 964's there has been maybe a handful of all of them that where honestly represented the rest were junk with bad history and people just go crazy over them when I wouldn't touch them with your money. The turbos that have been on BaT I knew the complete history on and again they were pigs with lipstick and nobody could tell what they were looking at.

That is true the 94 was rated at 360BHP the 993TT was 408. In second gear a 3.6T will inch out a 993TT and with some simple bolt on mods my 94 will outpace a modded 993TT. These are still not fast cars by today's standards but a great driving experience. These are the last of the single turbo RWD Porsche's and far easier to control than the 930's
