I faced the same decision. Drove both. Bought the 997S. The 997S was better. About the same performance (which suprised me), better design, factory warranty, and the same money for a perfect 2005 997S vs. 2001 or 2002 excellent 996tt.

997S all the way. Don't know if the 4S is worth the difference?



I believe that the original post was regarding a new 996tt, therefore full warranty would apply and if it's a left over, I would assume it's probably a 2005.
Regarding mid-range power though, I would have to disagree. Even the 996tt makes well over 100 ft./lbs. of torque, more, than our 997S's and does it about 2000 rpms sooner. Even the added weight of the turbo won't offset that great of advantage. Not to mention the 65 additional ponies.
