Hey guys,

I know this is a stupid question to ask on the Turbo board, but if you had 45k to jump back into a Porsche, what would it be?

1. 996TT - looking at around 40k miles, 2002-2003.

2. 997S - 30-40k miles

3. 996C4S Cab - 15k-20k miles

I'm dying on this one, any thoughts would be appreciated.

This is an easy question. One we all battled. We're all here, so what is the obvious answer

sorry it wasnt a battle for me

The 997 guys all say the handling of the C4S, the lighter weight and revised interior make it a no-brainer.

My last ride was a C4S, and I actually think that the 996 styling (wide body) is better than the 997 - has anyone driven the 997 and chosen the 996TT?

You did not list the 997C4S as an option. Is this new information to evaluate?

Once you've driven the boost, you can't go back. I love the way my car jumps and runs when the boost hits. Yee-Haa. Besides with the turbo you get the AWD. It's like a C4S on rocket fuel.

Test drove the turbo and hurt myself smiling so much. I giggled like a kid. Sold my 993C4S and haven't looked back.

Alright, I'm with ya - I'm looking at a couple of coupes right now and a cab. We'll see what happens.

I like the resale issue as well - the 996TT's have fallen like rocks, but depreciation from here on out should be pretty gentle, so if I want to roll it in a couple of years, it would likely take a smaller hit than a 997.
