Planning on getting the 998 S in 2012 if it has a at least 400hp.

Depends on whether I can economically meltdown my car, sell the raw material, and use the proceeds to buy the '17 992 with a composite engine.

After my current one passes 100k miles, I will pick up a 998. This yellow one looks perfect.

Could use a bit more headlamp and a bit less grill, but otherwise I like it.

Yep. Which would pretty much make it a 997.

When I get the house paid off in a couple years I may pick up a 993 Cab as a pure summer fun car. Otherwise I love what I've got and wouldn't be happier in anything else.

Like many of you, I keep my cars until they "croak". Next 911 I would buy, perhaps when I turn 50 would definitely be a Targa 4S.

I'm leaning towards a 997 turbo... I probably won't buy one until the 998/991 comes out and the 997 prices drop a little...
