I really feel sorry for him.....I dont see anything in a 997 you cant get in a 996 for 1/2 the price except the headlights.............
I think I will buy another 996 in 2 years
(keep the 86' though)

Well, the prospect of no IMS in a 997 is nice, but with the bargain that 996Turbos and GT3's are.... that would be my choice in this current market.

Three Wheelin'
I didn't like the exterior color (Arena red), I didn't like the interior color (savanna beige) and the car was optionless (17 wheels and cassette deck), and it was still a great thrill.

That is correct!
There is one other thing that I can't get in a 997.2 that is on a 996........ an intermediate shaft..... and that is NOT a bad thing!

Hi
I am upset about the response of this threaad. The 996 is very light to handle, slightly heavier than my wifes subaru turbo. drive another one and do a comparison. I just drove 3000km in 4 days and not once did the car become heavy on the arms. A 996 set up with the right allignment and ballance is light and responsive, just a dream to handle.
