A No-Brainer
993 TT. With the roads you have to the north and east of where you live I can't imagine many steps closer to heaven. If you read "Autocar", "Car" and "Evo" you will already know the right roads.
The only downside of the 993 will be the lack of safety aids like PSM and side airbags.
I'd go for it if I were you.

I swapped my '03 cab for a 993TT - will be taking delivery on saturday. In terms of PSM I wasn't too worried about it. Being that the car has AWD it should be ok. I had a 2001 Audi TT which was pre-ESP and the car handled great (mine was only rated at 260hp w/mods, though).

COMPLETELY different cars; it depends what you are looking for. If you are looking for a fun weekend car, the 993TT is the ticket. That car is raw and fast! The 993 TT's seem to be quite sought-after these days too, so in terms of depreciation, they will probably fare better than the 996, especially with the arrival of the 997 later this year...
