I'll take the minority position. I like the 2wd Pcars. Better steering feel and the 997 front suspension is much better than a 996. The 997 also feels much more nimble with a much improved interior. In general, I think the 997 is a better balanced car.

The 996tt and GT3 have the "real" engines and so on but the standard 997 will take more abuse than most will ever dish out.

That said, if you want lot's of go, ability to mod, or being able to tell people you've got a turbo the 996tt is the choice.

I've had both. Turbo- the acceleration is addictive. Add an exhaust, flash, and suspension- whoa.

In terms of attention, most people can't tell a 993/996/997.

if you like the rwd feel the turbo can be converted very easily

agreed that 997 interior is better though

I went back and forth over this same decision. I was looking at a 996 tt or a 997s. As my only car I might have chosen the 997. It is a nicer interior, longer warranty, and just a newer car. I decided on getting the turbo because I have another car to drive and I wanted to have a car that I thought would put the biggest smile on my face. Good luck with your decision.

Turbo ofcourse, its the flagship model; faster and has near infinite upgrade capabilities.

So the 997 didnt put a big smile ?? Quite confuse......

Honestly I love 997, but my friend got 996TT and keep telling me to get one..

I'm just afraid of maintaning the turbo since it was 2004

Anyway thks bro...
