Engine size and as you said 4wd, IMO go for the 2002 car with the 3.6l engine .

 

Is that it,I thought you,with your vaaaast knowledge of these things,may have gone through each one with the pro's and con's.....oh well

 

Be like putting up the details of 3 x 308s and saying what is the difference ,same model 2 of 'em in specs except for engine size and anther 4wd.

 

Ask Carl if he knows more about the 996s, I had one as a company car when they 1st came out but before any upgrades.

PS the 996 Gen cars WERE stiffer than my 993Rs in construction.

 

IMO Simon, I'd be moving on one your classic and buying Porker 911 for some of the runs.

I got in Tassie 27mpg,no issues ,wonderful long distance cars and tough in the mechanics .

 

Not at all,everyone knows the 308GTSi is the most unloved followed closish by the 328!

 

Getting rid of 3 classics is the plan.
That's why I'm upset with Shannons closing up.

 

Until the 996 IMS explodes.

Having said that, I’d buy a low km 996 3.6 and do the IMS upgrade AND get a scope down to check the bores etc. I quite like the fried egg headlights.

Then I’d, put some replica Fuchs on, replace the centre piece of the seats with houndstooth and add a duck tail spoiler

 

Most,if not all,have mentioned that the IMS and clutch have been sorted.

 

'King Westie...

 

Just do your research, not all IMS upgrades are the same

 

Nah, that’s the beauty of a 911 v Ferrari. Customise it as much as you like and no one GAF

 

True dat,it's still gunna look and sound like a veedub on steroids.

I did reeealy like that pastel blue one I put up a few months' ago though.

 

Anyway, they’re a fun car but no Ferrari. I think you’d be happier in a Mondial

 

I remember as a kid reading the Sports car world test on them,easy to see why one would NOT own one

 

Good planning ,then you can do all the drives you want .

 

I wouldn’t buy a 4, however either of those first two look great value.

 

For the klms Klunk does, surely a properly maintained 911 would be the go.

 

I took the E-type for a spin today and saw 2x 997s one a white S, looked great .

 

Casper?

Don’t like them in white myself.

 

Simon, don't buy on cheap price, buy the best you can afford ..You'll be ideal for one with the ks you do ..

 

Maybe, but a properly maintained Ferrari is just as reliable IMO

 

Well I do.

 

BS and you know it .

 

I still maintain a 911 will handle our crappy roads better and Simon does a hell of a lot of klms.
