Porsche 911 comparison

Always liked the Porsche 911 (my favourite is the 1989-1993 964 model) but never actually driven one. Just curious if anyone here has owned or driven one and how do they compare to the GTA/A610, bearing in mind their similar engine configuration and the fact they were sometimes compared in road tests of the time?

I have a mate who will not thank me for this as he is a long time editor of 911 Porsche World but the A610 is a king to a pre 993 Porsche in all driving terms but alas probably not reliability or build quality. I did notice his smile when he recently drove mine although he dismissed it as "OK".

On the french alpine renault web site (the one with the mid/dark blue background...if that makes any sense....WHO SAID 'THAT'LL BE A FIRST!) there's a section saying why the Alpine is about the passion of driving whilst the porker is the logic of driving.

Hi there, i"ve driven a couple of 911"s mostly the 3.2 carrera and to be honest i would be faster in that then my own GTA atmo and i also would thing that a GTA turbo could just about stay with it, only just!, but then again the Porsche is 3 times the price.

found myself glued to a 993 turbo's bumper a couple of weeks ago in my A610, 0-130 there was nothing in it
