ring' is a pretty sig difference.

Clarkson sure doesn't like Porsches, it seems. Makes it all the more amazing he picked the 996TT (in 2001, I think) as the 2nd best car ever made (he rated his top 100). The air-cooled 911 came in at 98 I think! lol The turbo was only beaten by the Jag e-type. He seemed most impressed by the fact he could go near flat out through a wet corner due to the AWD and the electronic nannies.

Just drive both for several days, some on track, some on street, keep whichever you like better. Then, if you still want the other, sell your car later on and enoy the other for awhile. One of the great things about sports cars, it's not a marriage. You can get it on with them all!
