That's fair. You stated earlier that the 996 was a "much better car" than the 964 or 993. More refined? Check. Bigger? Check. Easier to drive fast? Check. Better suited for daily driving? Check.

Different strokes I guess. I prefer the look, sound, feel, and rawness of my cars versus GT cars. I enjoy the challenge of hustling my cars at their limit without PSM saving me. With that said though, a GT3 (sans the Biggie cup holder) will occupy a space in my garage at some point down the road.

Enjoy your 996. See you at the track?

A track prepped 996 will run circles around track prepped 964s and 993s in the hands of equal drivers.

Not issuing a challenge here Cheech. I am well aware of the capabilities of a 996 vs 964/993 on the track. The OP is my brother and I was just trying to get him out to the track to hopefully appreciate his 996 even more. Just a little friendly banter.....
