I can´t help myself, but in terms of exterior styling, the MkI is the more attractive, sleeker and more "GT3-like" car. Of course the facelift has the upper hand in terms of performance and technology and less weight everywhere where it counts, but it is not a departure forward in the eye-candy factor.
One interesting piece of information that was repeated both here and at Driver´s Republic - we finally know that the official Mk1 GT3+RS production volume is around 5200 units.

MT data on the 2004 996 GT3 (compared against the 360 Challenge Stradale, it crushed the Strad in every performance test, despite of the extra 45 Hp in the Ferrari and less weight)
0-60: 3.9
0-100: 9.1
1/4 mile: 12.07 @ 116.04 mph
narrower rear tires on a full street compound (Michelin PS2).
The power increase from the 996 to the 997 was 35 Hp. This time it's just 20 Hp. The torque increase from the 997.1 to the 997.2 is 17 lb-ft, about the same increase from the 996 to the 997 (16 lb-ft)

I love the technology of the new car, especially the dynamic engine mounts, but the one area that may be a deal-killer for me is the rear bumper. I have a hatred for cars that show exhaust piping under the car. My 91 Turbo was like this and I said I'd never buy a car that doesn't cover up its underparts...
I assume they had to change the bottom profile of the bumper because it appears the new car rides a bit lower. They probably had to change the angle of the rear bumper so that the car could come in and out of parking garages etc, without scraping the rear bumper. It's too bad because I like how the MK1 hides all the mufflers, tubing, etc. and just lets us enjoy the visuals of the centre outlets.
