Sorry to wheel out the girlfriend analogy but a 997 Turbo is like a girlfriend who has a PhD, model looks, cordon bleu chef and most of all is easy to live with. The 'more charismatic' Italian cars are like the temperamental girlfriends that are high maintenance in terms of the effort they require to keep them sweet. It's a no brainer for me!



Here is a better analogy. The 997TT is like your mother. Good cook, reliable and dependable. Italians cars are like good looking girl friends. The can't do as well everything mother can do but they provide the passion and excitement that a mother cannot give. A 997TT is like kissing your mother. Italians cars are like kissing a beautiful woman.

Lets face it. The 997TT is very much like all other Porsche's. They are old dependeable shoes that are occasionally resoled, provided with different laces and minor cosmetic changes to distinguish it from the previous shoe. It still is the old shoe.

The GT2-3 would be much more exciting.



I have a different analogy from you, Nick. The Ferrari is a Nike shoe, cheaply made, but selling at an exorbitant price, flashy and popular with the crowds, while the Porsche is a classy italian ( ) shoe, well made, with timeless style. When the Nikes are gone and their fanboy crowds are all grown up, they wear the classy italian shoes.
