You are asking this in the 996 forum, what do you think people would respond?

Which one do you like to drive more? Keep whichever car is the answer to that question.

I have posted the same question on both the 928 and the 996 forum for balance. I'm listening to all comments. I have really enjoyed the 928S which was originally purchased as a flip car investment. 2 years later Ive driven and wrenched the hell out of the car fixing everything in sight. Ive enjoyed the experience. Here is the background. At the time I bought the 928S I was driving a very well sorted 944 that Id owned for many years. I fell in love with the whole 928 thing and have enjoyed it. 2 years ago I also bought my wife a 996 for here daily. She enjoys it but doesn't want me autocrossing her daily car. I respect that. Until 6 months ago the 944 was filling that role. Due to money considerations I sold the 944. The 928s for all purposes is actually a better car for my family due to its size. But I have in the back of my mind getting back to more autocross. I tried to use the 928 on the autocross course a few times. Its not as much fun as a light car like the 944 or the 996. Recently we upgraded my wifes daily driver to a 2003 996 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, leaving the 2000 up for sale and listed on this forum as well. But after taking it for a few test drives with customers I actually started to enjoy the drive of the Carrera. SO.... I put forth this question to both Forums to get perspective of others with similar sickness.

Sounds like more reaffirmation that the 996 is the keeper.

But, if I was going to consider autocross or track, I would switch mine with a coupe. But that's me. Although, the cab holds its own pretty well on the track from my limited experience.

Or I could work harder to talk my wife into letting me Autocross her Daily. The 2003 is a 6 speed Carrera 4.

Work harder as in enough to buy her something else? Panny perhaps?

I personally would say that C4 will feel better on the track but there will inevitably be more wear & tear.

Delete. Double post.

Sell cab for $18k, buy my 996 coupe for a few grand less. Then keep the 928 and auto-x the 996 coupe. Win-Win.

Looks like the decision was made for me. My Ebay add had a hit this morning. Someone locally hit the buy it now for the 996. Now if they come and get it the answer has been given.

If 928 prices are anything like what's happening here in Australia i know which i'd keep. And in fact I just sold my 996 and kept my 928. The 928 is just such a more refined feeling car. The 996 interior is so plasticky it's not funny.
