I've had plenty of "cheaper" cars that would outrun a lot of the modified 911 Turbos, and yes, I'm currently chasing a 996TT for my next purchase. But it's also been nice to be able to have the performance for a lot less initial money laid out, less in maintainance, and cheaper to modify by far.

I doubt I'll tear into a 996 TT like I have with the other cars (including my Z06) for fear of tossing something as well.

End of day--yes, it's still just a "XXXX", but it's all in what your priorities are.
