I don't think you'll be happy with a 2000 C2 because it's only marginally faster than a 986S. I've been to the track many times and I don't think there was one time that a 996 ever pulled away from me on the straights. Our club also have a Breakfast drives on the Sea to Sky Highway here on the westcoast and the same story here - on long stretch hills, the 996 still won't pull away.

If you want power, wait a few more years for the 996 TT to come down. After that, there are very few cars in the world that could top it. Or you can chip the 996TT and get extra 50 ponies.
