I haven't bought a 996 but my Dad has a 01' c2 in the garage that I end up driving often.

Power
-Blows the doors off my 3.2L down low no question,top end isn't too different

Handling
-Not sure,haven't pushed around the 996

Brakes
-Duh. Same as my 986 S. The only reason anyone would have an advantage is if something is worn on either system

Interior
-Same

I wouldn't own both at the same time or jump from one to the other....not enough difference between the two for me.
