cts v or 996 turbo
#2
a sedan or a coupe is pretty different
the used 996 has lost a good amount of value so you would prob be a little safer in that $ wise.
performance wise im sure the cts-v will be faster in a straight line and you will be able to fit your friends/family in it.
price difference is about 30g's atleast...
hard comparison depends what your needs out of a vehicle are. (obviously fast is one of them)

I've driven alot of cars. Only one Porsche. I have driven two gen 2 V's....and I have never been so impressed with a bone stock car other then my first ride in an 02 Z06 6 or so years ago. These new V's are wicked. Unbelieveable a car thats a 4 door, runs as hard as it does. And the V's I drove were box stock. Imagine one with a tune alone, how it must feel with no torque management.? The car is wicked. I'd do a tune/pulley/airbox/long tubes with high flow cats/and walk almost any typical car you run across.
Incase your wondering, I'm rarely impressed with any vehicle I drive/ride in nowadays. I own and have driven a high powered car, as well as wheeled a multitude of exotics and 1000hp + cars. I'm basing this V off a wide array of cars,.....and I am telling you,...this car, is one of the very most amazing cars I have ever driven.
If that doesn't sell it. 175mph limited in the automatic, stock. 198mph in the bone stock 6 speed CTS-V. Thats the world FASTEST sedan out of the box.
Thats dope as hell.
Regardless of what I think,...drive them both.
Happy hunting.

New V ~$60k
Used 996tt can be had at ~$60k easy

I've see a few lightly used V's in the low to mid $50's. A fully loaded new V runs a tad under $70k.
I would go with the V. It is just a monster of a car while not really looking like a car that can rip to 60 in 4 seconds.

the 996 is a beautiful car by all means, and first initial response was going to go for this being a V owner myself (V1 though). the 996 is almost a dream car for me, however, the engineering and bottom line push you back in your seat power from a STOCK LUXURY SEDAN like this, well, i have to say the V is my answer. also, it takes very little money (compared to other vehicles) to put your V2 in the mid 500whp range, and still retain daliy driven luxury badassness.

The V's are pretty sweet. I owned a highly modded 01 Z06 but not a cts-v. Based on what i've read, i'd go with the V. The 996TT is amazing, but I wouldn't want to sacrifice all that luxury of the V if daily driven.
The 996tt is more of my weekend badboy!

I daily my 05 996 Turbo and I love it. If I needed to haul passengers though, then I'd get the CTS-V. You buying it for you and maybe one passenger, or you and maybe 3 passengers?
CTS-V wicked power with lots of luxury and your big smile.
996TT wicked power with lots of smiles inside AND outside.

I am a CTS V2 owner...it is a daily driver...I don't think I would consider the 996 a daily driver. My garage queen is a supercharged Ram SRT 10. A 996 would spend most of its life in a garage bay...(I live in northern IL, 7 months of winter, 3 months of pot hole repair and 2 months of driving the 996.)
I think the world of the CTS V...it has about 7000 miles on it in three months...and I am still surprised at the combination of luxury and exhilarating acceleration and sports car like handling. I am also a Porsche lover...but I don't think there is a chance you would prefer driving the 996 if you had one of each.
Bottom line: 556 hp, 551 tq supercharged and intercooler...with a 100,000 mile warranty!
No contest in my mind.

Sums it up for me. Perfect daily driver.

I can't afford either one but i'd pick the V. Its such an appealing package. Comfort, luxury, plenty of room, good driving dynamics and an excellent motor. The V would be less hassle to hop in and do errands too i'm sure.
