Hi all I'm interested in buying a 996 and wanted to ask a few questions. I just took out a new C4S Cabriolet and I'm a little underwhelmed by the experience although it's a lovely car on a warm day. I'm used to driving hard edge cars my last sports car/sedan was a Mercedes 190 Evolution so I guess I felt the C4S was a little soft, too quiet and not enough of an event for me _personally.
I've got to get a car I can drive 2-3 times a week (I work from home a lot) but I'm young-ish and I'm not bothered by comfort, interior features or the like. I like engine noise and feeling as close & connected to the road as possible. So with that in mind I've been thinking about a GT3. I'm booked in to test drive one this week but I'd like to hear your opinions on it for daily use. I'm under the impression it would be fine - for me - but I'd like to hear some owners experiences. There is a lot of very low mileage examples for sale out there and that kind of concerns me.
The other option would be to wait for a new 997 C2 S with the aero kit but again am not sure if this will "thrill" me or not. I guess I like the fun of getting up to high speeds not just high speeds and that's whats left me a little cold with the cab. Perhaps I should just go for a 993 I hear they are better in this respect - ? ie the "event"
This isn't meant as a troll btw, serious questions!
