Thinking of buying a 997

I test drove it, I just love the handling .... much better than my SLK 55 .... but the 55 is better performance figure by a li'l bit
vs carrera S tiptronic ....

had a race with my friend's 997S ,, a simple drag ..

I was all the way infront , the only time he was like 4 sec.. beside my door at speed 64 mph to 100 mph or less ... I think approx.. after that I just flew...

but I prefer the Porsche feeling of the steering feel...

Iam considering the 997 S with x51 package... ofcourse 6 speed + short shifter...

what do you think?
