I recently changed from a Porsche 911 996 to a 997s. The 997 is more of a car in terms of value for the money. It is gorgeous to look at and a huge improvement over the 996. The Sports Chrono package is a great boy's toy. I find the sport setting too much on twisty bumpy roads, it seems to become unsettled. I will save the setting for track days or maybe I just need to drive it more and find just how good it is!

Nothing like the look and design of this car, a design that doesn't get old; Also love the sensation of accelerating during the gear up shifting. I really enjoy driving this car during the weekends.

Porsche is the best built car in the world. The braking, handling, and over all performane is second to none. Overall quality and attention to details create a vehile that only a true enthusiast would appreciate, and understand what a real "driving machine" is all about. Porsche has won more races that any mark, and their road cars are prove that evolution, is superior to" revolution"

I'd test driven other cars and was getting frustrated with their compromises. My ten year old BMW M3 was still looking very competitive! And then I drove the 911 and it had the same magic, the same quantum jump over the others that impressed me ten years ago with the M3. I had to have one.

Goodbye SL500 Hello 911

After a series of problems with my new '03 SL500, I decided to roll the dice and replace it with an '05 911 Carrera. Wow, what a difference! The Porsche is a weekend car, and I love the way it handles through the southern California canyons on the weekends compared to the much heavier SL roadster. The six speed shifter is well designed and easy to use (although I have to wait another thousand miles or so on the odometer to really push it to the redline). I'm also impressed with the fit and finish of the car -- so far not one mechanical defect. I've owned several MBs and BMWs (my daily driver is an X5 SUV), and so far I don't feel the Porsche will be as problematic as past experiences.
