I'd like a 911. But to tell you the truth over the years the thought of driving a rear-engined car and losing a mid-engine one has pushed me to put off the switch year after year.

Now I'm at that point that I would just prefer for the MY 2009-2011 997's (no IMS issues) to come down in price. From what the track guys say the 997.2 Carreras are a massive improvement over the whole 996 range. I also found it interesting that Walter Rohrl's "best 911's" list failed to include a single 996. That's quiet a long stretch of Carreras to snub entirely.

my thinking now is to go water-cooled (but not 993, too mushy for me) or 997. Anything in between (GT/2/3 and TT's excluded of course) I would see as a lateral move on handling, power and reliability from a Boxster S.
