Why is that? If you're gonna modify one (and who around here DOESN'T do that?) and care about cost of entry to some degree I'd still go with 996. Turbo only of course.
Most people who saw a 996 and 997 next to each other wouldn't notice a difference.

I'd say yes and no to that point.
It was one of the things I did not enjoy about my P-car ownership. I did meet some good guys and many are still friends but many others still were the typical guys that do unfortunately do the stigma justice.
I'll say most of the a-holes are more the stocker type guys who just buy it for the name and that stigma. The guys I associated with modded the crap outta their cars and I think are just as much hot rodders as many of us. Same but different.
Man those cars ride and drive well though. It was almost too nice for me. 160 felt like 100 in any other car. I want to feel like I'm going 100 when I'm actually going 100. Like a natural governor.
And good thing I didn't know that Ron guy when he had his "in high demand" 993.
