I would think less potential for damage putting bike inside than installing roof rack. Esp when hooligans try to steal rack by ripping it off car.

What did you find challenging about the 996 3 vs the 997 3?

One of the reasons I chose to keep 993 over 996 3 was easier to remove passenger seat and put the bike inside. 3 had Euro seats and Tequipement bar which added complexity.

I've had a few guys mention that the .1 seemed a 'beat behind' in reaction compared to a .2 FWTW.
Personally I was amazed...all relative I suppose :-)
