I feel the need to put in the plug for the 4S, as a novice Porsche driver... the AWD system has saved my "tail" several times in the last two months of ownership. When cornering under throttle application, the power just _moves_ forward and pulls the tail back in... it's kinda like magic, IMHO.

But it's not really magic - it's a Porsche!

You can't lose by choosing any 911. I also looked at the Cayman S - which I really liked - but every time I get into the C4S I'm vindicated in making the 997 choice.

Hurry up and buy one! Time is short, and nobody is promised tomorrow! <g>
