My thoughts:

987 S: Drivers Car with awesome sunshine ability

997 S w/X-51 package: Grand touring car

997 GT3: Drivers Car. Only thing purer is a 997 Porsche Cup Car

997 Turbo: Very fast grand touring car

The thing I love the most about the 997 is that its driving the price of the 996 down.

The GT3 is useless for daily driving, The X-51 package is a ripoff on a grand scale ($20 grand and no significant increase in HP/Torque??)

I guess I would go with the Turbo. Having little to no experience with driving cars with FI, something new would be cool.
Anyone ever driven an S2000 with FI?

Forced Injection? I think he meant a supercharger or turbo charger.
