SL55 and save up for other mods....ecu upgrade, pulley, cat by pass pipes, after market mufflers, air filters , cams and so on
Why?
Love the insane torque, insane sound of engine and exhaust
hard top
Could be a gt and a high performance sports car any time you want!
Comfortable
but also the 996 could be used as a daily driver!
Depends on you , you could test drive both of them if you want

my opinion its a sort of car , for cruising and going fast !
do you know in 4th gear you could reach 288kmh in the SL!
get urself a clean 01 TT put in a stage 4... or get some parts from some guys trying to sell the 996tts ,,, like headers, exhaust, etc.... put in a set of turbos and ecu and u have over 600 HP... nothing can beat that deal.... nor performance..
U can get brand new pss9s for $2K... tahst a steal....

The dry sump race-derived GT1 block in the TT is better suited as a platform for big big power

They all use essentially the same engine.
The 997C2, C2S and C4S, however, all use a wet-sump 3.8L engine.

Look at my sig and you know my vote. Agree, 996t motor is a better platform for high hp but the 997S platform (body,chassis,susp,brakes,tranny) is a major improvement right out of the box, which means you can put all your money into a s/c and you are good to go and you'll be as fast or faster than the 997 GT3 and the 997 turbo.. at least I think so if Evo's #'s are correct. Make sure you drive both cars so you can compare the ride. IMO the ride/feel of the 997 is superior over the 996. Good luck!
