997 Turbo v 996 Turbo S
- Thread starter Bieldside

Handling wise you would only notice the difference at the limits of the car and since it's a cabriolet, I'm assuming you won't be tracking it. So the question you need to ask is do you want to spend an extra £40,000 to get a car that 'looks' newer and do you mind the steeper depreciation that goes with a newer car?

996 Turbo with what I'm guessing is the X50 upgrade making it similar to Turbo 'S'

those turbo cabs just look wrong to me, all sort of compromised in all sorts of ways, far from elegant, just so you can put the roof down?
different thread I know but I just don't get the cab thing on a car that was conceived as a coupe. Doesn't stop them selling tho'......

Personally I think the 996 Turbo S is now a hell of a car for the money compared to the 997 Turbo. However if you must have a Cab your struggle to find one will go up. Why not have a Coupe with a sunroof?
Remember with the Turbo S you also get Ceramic Brakes for Standard if they rock your world 8)
Before I decided the replacement car for my 996 C2 was a GT3, I was convinced that the 996 Turbo S was the best option.

My problem is that I have a 9934S that I will never sell + a 987 Boxster S
I do like the option of my other car being a cabriolet. Thats after much thought, even going to Silverstone to try the GT3 and GT2 at the Porsce Driving Experience to see what I thought. So my thoughts are still a Turbo S Cab or a 997 Turbo Cab but the price difference is huge and not really justifiable
Turbo S Cab - as rare as rocking horse ***** me thinks! Might look at a really well kept standard Turbo Cab as a second choice if the months roll on
Part of the fun is looking!

I concur, I know if i wanted a convertible id get a BMW 335 convertible, the Porsche looks the way it does for a reason, its dedicated to be a road car every angle on the car represents no compromise. It looks a bit funny without the top on. However as mentioned doesnt stop them from selling so my opinion must suck! : :mrgreen:
The only way I would purchase a drop head Porsche is if it was fitted with a folding tin top. I hate rag tops :hand: . Reduced headroom caused by added insulation, added wind noise, added maintenace and cleaning of fabric, vandalism risks etc etc
