i agree with you guys, raw power, definitely turbo...however im a sucker for an update and modern interior so im gonna go w/the c2...or c2s.

i just posted my cayenne in the for sale section so hopefully it sells soon so i can go get my 997

I went from 997 C2S to 996 turbo. You are right, the interior of the car was lacking. I switched out a lot of the plastic for carbon (from MaCarbon), shifter, and steering wheel (fvd) and now my interior is much nicer than the 997 was. Although a lot of this is also due to the full leather of the turbo which I did not have in the 997.

Either way, both great cars. However add an exhaust,flash, and suspension to the turbo and it's a monster. MUCH FASTER.
