The great thing about this board is that anyone can have a different opinion!!

You guys rock! This has been a great thread. I'm still looking at both '01 and '02, and will let you know what I decide on. I have driven both (but not back to back) and the differences weren't significantly noticable. I'd still like to get the '02, but I think it's all going to come down to price...
More to come! The search continues...

Trust me, Paul, I would look seriously at yours, but timing is everything. I need to pay for my impending marriage, then sell the M5, then finally get the 996. Car stuff has to wait until after next May.

I'm in the same boat: 99-01 or 02. Nice chunk of change for the improvements mentioned throughout this thread.
Anyone know if you can replace the 99-01 front (I'm assuming headlights, hood and bumper) with an 02+?

You need a turbo

I think thats irrelevant. 996's are not slow, and its all relative don't you think? If speed is the case the 996 TT is a stone compared to whats out there, I mean come on now
