Now that I had my 997 and Magnum for two plus years I still have this feeling
That 996ers look more and more exotics than 997s... There is just something in 996s...

Well, I drove a 997 GT2 a few months ago, and I've had the itch for something new ever since. Options for me are 2009 GT2 (2009 for PCM 3), 997.2 GT3, 997.2 Turbo/S, or 991 Turbo (I can wait).

I still love my 996 TTS, so I'm not feeling any pressure to rush into something else. I'm waiting for the perfect car to come along.

I was incredibly close to pulling the trigger on a CPO GT3 at MAG Porsche in Ohio. It had only 240 miles on it and was perfect for my particular taste (which we have all agreed is peculiar). I had made a deal, but got sidetracked because a friend of mine died the day I was supposed to send my deposit, and I lost it to another guy who came through with money. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

Porsche of North Olmsted (Cleveland Porsche) has a pretty nice Turbo on their floor, but their sales manager insults prospects. Probably not a guy I want to buy a car from.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, right? This place is like the wild west of opinions, and I can take it. But I do think it's weird for a guy who's clearly representing a dealership to be snotty in a forum full of potential buyers. It'd be totally different if he didn't have his work hat on, but he does.

True. He's a good guy once you get to know him. You can be sure to get a full range of opinions here. If I were you I'd hold off untill the 991 is released then decide

Are you for real? Dude I'm not a 1/10000000th the snotty you encounter with dealers in your own back yard.

I'm essentially waiting for the 991 Turbo too. And I've had my 997.2 built for me at the LA Auto Show way back in 2009. Well configured, not built
