    Re: stupid question, 997S vs. 996 TT, which one is best?

    Guys: I have driven both 996TT and 997S and honestly there is not much difference in acceleration and braking or even handling. The biggest difference I noticed was on the freeway where the Turbo has an advantage. But there is no way the 996TT could smoke the 997S. No offense to the Turbo owners, I had one and I sold it and I think while the 996TT is an awsome car the 997S is the beginning of a new era.



    There is a big difference on an unrestricted Autobahn

    If you buy from a private owner, you'll never know the truth and even dealers may not be very willing to help you to find out if the engine ECU has been tampered with. But at an official Porsche dealer, at least you get a warranty.




    Another alternative is: buy from a private party but make sure the car still has the original Porsche warranty. Some owners extend the 2 year warranty which means that even 3, 4 or 5 year old cars can still have the official Porsche warranty.
