996 magazine articles
Is there a website or particular book that would have contemporary magazine articles / comparison tests for the 996?
Also, is there a really good list of specs through the years? All the weights, dimensions, power, gear ratios, etc...

There is one good book that's been recommended here.
Excellence Magazine does price comparisons on Porsche's on a monthly basis.

The book isn't cheap, but it is essential.
As far as magazine articles, the March 2002 Road & Track does a comparison test between a Corvette Z06, an Acura NSX and a 911 Carrera

Thanks! I'll start there.
Might be a silly question but... How hard is it to get a test drive at a P-car dealership?
I'm only 26 and technically not "ready to buy". I've never driven a 911 and need to feel/see what it's like. Would be my 5th Porsche but the first less than 20 years old at the time of purchase.
