You got that right! I see you've enjoyed sliding down that slippery slope yourself...

Lots of people have 911's and 968's When you want AC drive the 968. If you need the hatchback to get supplies from Home Depot - drive the 968. When you want to haul a$$ and put a stupid grin on your face - the 968 will be waiting for you when you get back.

Of course you could haul *** to Home Depot with a hatchback if you go with a 928.....I miss my '91.

I have a 968 and a 993. I plan for my next car to be an older 911, prob a 3.2 or SC. Doesn't really answer your question, but I just think they are different cars. As far as a track only car, I think an older 911 would be better.

I only miss my 928 occasionally when I see one.

A 30 mpg Vette replaced my 928, but every country or track drive in my 911 gives me an adrenalin rush that lasts for days. I don not, however, enjoy my 911 in stop-n-go traffic or when I carry a passenger.

That sums it up for me... My daily driver is an M3 for AC, hauling kids, and to sneak in a little quiet drifting on my way home.

some would define it as an 'upgrade' rahter than a 'switch'.

They would probably be right.
