It is a tough call, both are amazing cars and I'm sure nobody would disagree, and both can shift when you want to but lets face it the extra little bhp isn't anything worth worrying about really, as lets face it we could all just get a crazy bhp eve or scooby if all we wanted was 4wd and bhp!
When i got my 996 4s it was with the view to upgrade to a 997 at a later date, as i thought the 997 just looked better IMO.
Altho when my water pump went and i had a 997 courtesy car (c2) from the friday till the monday it completely changed my mind, the interior felt to much like a soul less audi!? maybe i have just grown to love the ford mondoe style interior of my 996 after all!
The other thing people do not understand is how driving a porsche makes you feel special, not in a "i am better than you" way, it just makes you feel good in a strange way, a lot more than my previous cars anyway! the 996 just is the right blend of modern and classic/old i think, and no amount of money could get me to sell or upgrade to any car!
The 997 was a lot like my previous SL55, was a seriously impressive bit of kit, but for me it was simply a tool and lacked the personality of the 996.
Oh and this is coming from a ex die hard 997 fan who was turned by the hips of the gorgeous 996 4s
