Let's say that you have to upgrade to a more modern 911, which one would you choose? This would be an every day car, not a track rat.

1. 997 C2/S

or.

2. 996TT

The 996GT3 is out.

 

The 997, but only from 2009 on after they fixed the IMS problem that could grenade the engine.

 

Actually, I'd pick a Cayman S...

 

+1 except it would an R.

But out of the 2 listed it would be the 997 for sure.

996 Turbo. No IMS issues, crazy performance, great every day driver comfort.

 

I'd pick the 997 C2S.... But I don't want to pick just one. Which is why I have a 997 C2S and am buying my father's (modified 600+hp) 996TT when he is ready to let it go.

 

Already voted. See signature.

 

Looks like better looking and slightly less performance beats butt ugly and super fast by a wide margin

 

I'll take the ugly and super fast with the 964 engine case

 

Uh, yep. And I was offered a sorta-unloved but still decent enough one about a month ago by one of the dealers where I have vending machines for $31800. Having just dropped Carrera GT money on the house-purchase-on-a-whim, no way was my wife going to sign off on that.

 

So looking at the results so far, we can conclude that I join Falcon and Ilko as the only guys who don't like the engines in our cars to potentially go "boom"........

 

I voted 997 assuming it was a 997.2. Looks count for a lot and the engine upgrade is noticeable.

 

Voted as well, comparison made with 991 and 997 Carrera4 GTS. Performance on par with both cars. PDK far superior. Best part: depreciation hit taken by someone else.
