An Image of my Porsche 996 C4S.

Interesting.
I love the choices. Very close to what I would now choose.
However, Why not a turbo?

I was thinking of a 997.2 C2S Coupe with:
B4 - Carrara White
FE - Sea Blue Full Leather (or 07 - Carrera Red Full Leather)
267 - Self Dimming Mirrors
176 - Sport Exhaust System
P17 - PASM Sports Suspension Package
XRR - 19" Carrera Sport Wheel
810 - Floor Mats in Interior Color
342 - Heated Seats
P15 - Power Comfort Seats with Driver Memory
CUV - Storage Compartment Lid with Model Logo
CDZ - Gear Lever Trim in Leather
XMZ - Rear Center Console in Leather
XMZ - Thicker 3-Spoke Steering Wheel Smooth Leather
982 - Supple Leather Front and Rear
CXB - Door Entry Guards in Stainless Steel
68 - BOSE High End Sound Package
But I really haven't given it much thought!

As for the Turbo, I am not sure I would like the 4-wheel drive feeling (I have never driven a 4-wheel drive 911) and I don't think I need the extra HP. There are '07 997 Turbos that are priced in the low $80's, which is a pretty good price on a car that was $140K +/- two years ago. Based upon what I have read about the Turbo, the general consensus is that the suspension is too soft, especially in the rear, and while the lag has been minimized compared to the 996 Turbo, it is still present.
Hell, if I WANTED lag, I could just keep driving my Honda, which has the ultimate lag. The power surge has yet to appear after 10 months of driving it!
