Actually, the 2001 vs. 2002 carreras have the same 4.9 second 0-60, so I recommend the 2002+ for one specific reason, more technology in the 2002.

if it is a price thing, or you fall in love with a 996 gen 1. like I did, buy it anyway, almost all block problems failed within the first 10k miles and have been replaced. Then the playing field is even and you have a porsche engine vs. a porsche engine.

I saw a guy on 6 speed with a 3.8 x50 gt3 engine blow with 7k miles the other day.. same ole story in the porsche lottery.
