This argument will go on forever just like oil and coolant. We should try to be helping this person find a car he enjoys as much as the rest of us and I think deep down we are but it is an emotional decision.

The reality is that the specs on the cars are simply not that far apart. As an engineer, I Was taught to speak with data. Always, always, always... That is why I love to read the guys like PW, Nine8Six, Road and Race, Ger and many others who back their comments with photos and data. Between the two, the 0-60 times are less than 1 second equivalent to the blink of an eye. Watch the TFL videos of a '97 base beat the 911 & 930 around the track.

In the end, find the best condition model you can and tune out this noise. Enjoy the car 'cause life is short.
