No one can and should argue with your opinion, as it's, well your 'opinion'. But your logical consistency?? Well that's fair game! :grin:
Sure the 997 is an improvement because.......the 997 is an improvement of the 996 platform. Not sure many people doubt that the 997 offers improvements, not least Terry......
And using your own logic therefore a 996 turbo is a substantial step forward from the turbos that came before....? Yet instead you claim:
However quite a lot of it can be said about the older air cooled cars. They are older, slower, have dated interiors, less economical, are poorer for the environment, have older tech, and don't handle so well. You also forgot less stiff, poorer handling, less comfortable to drive, less practical, and more expensive and difficult to maintain.
Sure we can all use the catch me all euphemism 'character' to describe the shortcomings......... :roll:
And it's also why Terry suggests above that a 993 turbo instead of both a 996 AND a 997 turbo wouldn't be his preferred choice.
Not sure it's walking on egg shells at all. What's been said so far just sounds like common sense to me......... :wink:
