You guys bring up another issue that I've been condemned for by many car enthusiasts and friends a like.
Why spend $20k when I could easily spend that money and get a 987 or something.
... and to be honest, I can't really give a good answer, other than the fact that I am completely in love with my 986. And I'd rather spend that money and have the best 986 on the street than just a regular 911. Besides, my brother already has a 996TT- I'd be a copycat if I got one, and I've been copying him my whole life
