Hands down, get a 997 C2 S, best for the money. A 997 C2 is sweet enough. I've had a 996 and got my 997, now Boxster. Love the 997, absolutely the best car I've own so far. Second is my 88 Ferrari 3.2 which is a classic and head turner. Lets just say the 997 is perfect with great looks and reliability. The 996 was always in the shop. I don't think you will regret the 997 and it holds its value way better than a 996. Use it as a DD no problem. Here is my coupe, all upgrades done by me. GT2 rear wing, LEDs, grille, fabricated roof scoop.
cheers

-poss abused 997 C2S
-plain jane hq 997
-lovingly run 996 C4S
-any other 996
I've used my "nok cha" (green tea/car) as a DD as much as possible but with Monterey and maybe Florida on the horizons, I might not NEED another cabrio but I'm not a coupe guy, does that even make sense to lust after a 911 w/o loving coupes? I want the extra in cab room so 2+2 makes sense, thus 987/981 are out. I don't want a FR I'm ready for RR, grr.
The 2.7 is great to give a workout and fast-ish to enjoy, but the need for speed is there.
Any thoughts on specific 911/experiences?
