i would also suggest the 997 with all the raves about it. new suspension system and it handles a whole lot better than the previous generation. as Evan said, his C2S handles even better than his 996 turbo with coilovers.. i also remember someone trading in his turbo S for a 997 C2S and saying the same thing even though people think he was crazy for doing that.

without a doubt the 997
just sit inside the new 997 and sit in the 996, u will see how dated the old design looks.
then the suspension is much better also.
