While obviously closely-related cousins, they have markedly different personalities, not to mention purchase price. The "better" choice is the choice that suits your needs best. ...which is why I have both

Wow. That's a beauty. I'm sick of seeing you guys get beautiful SCs while I pathetically slog thru the crap dealer ads for my search for the right black SC for nearly two years

Edward,
I envy your collection of 911s!! I'm looking to get started on my own here shortly.
My current planned/intended purpose for my 911 is weekend fun, track/DE/auto-x. I don't forsee it being a daily driver, but probably being driven a lot
I don't want to hijack this thread... I'm guessing that would put me more in the SC-late '80s category. Is that a fair assumption?

Edward is exactly right. I bought an SC as I was looking for a weekend fun car, and I wanted the raw sports car feel. However, if I was getting one as a daily driver I would get a 964 or 993 (or maybe, heaven forbid, a 996??) as they are much easier to drive (hydrolic clutch, power steering, decent A/C, etc). Heck, if I had one as a daily driver I might have to get a (GASP) tiptronic.

Having just sold a 964 and now having the SC I would have to agree that for a daily driver I would look to the 964 or 993 series. I also would not turn up my nose at a 996 for that purpose. The later cars are just a bit more civilized and comfortable for daily use. My 911s have been weekend and track toys to moving backwards to the SC was a simple decision for me. I eventually would like to trade my Jag S-Type for a 996 or 997 Cab for daily use, but I have to wait for the kids to get a bit older.

That seems to be the consensus here, and I am leaning that way myself based off advice given here.

I am a rebounder too.
I sold my 2000 996 and went back to a 1988 Targa. My son and I couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces when I drove the Targa - something that never happened in the 996. This 88 has just over 12K miles and is like new.
