Would any of the members consider buying a 996 Turbo or Turbo S over a 997 S? What would be the pros and cons? I own a 2006 997 S loaded with options and an aerokit. I enjoy the car but suddenly have these thoughts about buying a late production 996 Turbo or Turbo S.



I did change from a 997 S to a 996 Turbo X50 and I am very happy with the extra power and performance.
The problem with the 996 Turbo is the soft suspension. Ichanged to H&R coilovers and anti-sway bars and the improvement is enormous. The ride-height is adjustable, and both road and track performance is MUCH better than a 997S.

I can recommend thesuspension without reservation, ittransforms the 996 Turbo from a fast boat into a serious track weapon - with plenty of long-distance comfort. I am very satisfied with the upgrade from the somewhat underpowered 997S. Now I just need to lose some weight....
