That's not normal... go drive a few more cars, and if you can swing it try looking for a 2002 or better, if not a 99 or 00 car should not act like that.

I said before in this thread that we don't know the wear of that 996.
Old brake fluid... wear shocks, old and glassy tires...
These items could cause a longer brake distance.
Porsche brakes are quite good because they are strong and have high resistance to fade

If you're not sure, buy both
Two very different cars. The CLK500 is my daily driver ... as Phil said, bags of torque - Road and Track had this as a 5.3 0-60 car (or something like that). You can very easily light up the tires if you want. Great cruising car, good in rush hour traffic, etc. Not a p-car though.
The Targa gets out on sunny days and w/ends - "Porsche, there is no substitute"!

Intelligent election.
I had a BMW 3 series E46 Coupe na dit's was fantastic in daily driving, but Porsche changed my way to understand the feeling of driving
Do you like driving? Yes, Porsche ... of course

Wow 5.3 are you sure about that? AMG's are rated at 5.0 or 5.1, I guess 60hp isn't what it used to be.
