I haven't read every response and I don't know if this has been addressed, but much depends on how much you'll be driving the car. I had to choose between a 996GT3 vs Turbo. Turbo a little faster...

It's harder to do donuts in a 996Turbo variant other than GT2 than in a C6Z.

BTW what's with going to C5Z axles on the C6Z? I see hardtop did it. Is there some advantage?

One thing that's...

If the car is as rumored, my guess is that Chevy could sell 10K units/year for the first year or two then 3-5k units/year thereafter. There would be spikes in sales commensurate with updates.

SL 65 is top of the line AMG version, allegedly running below twelves. Are we sure the Merc wasn't an SL 55 or SL 600 or 500? It looked like a 13 second car. Then again, if Carlos is in the tens....

There are so many great cars to choose from and few of us can own all of them.

And tuned correctly, gobs more powerful. Key in these swaps is that these older 911s are hamstrung at 350-400 NA hp, and going with a small-block 350 Chevy opens up quite a few options to hit 500+...

It's a problem- today's fast cars are really fast. Speeds that would get you arrested or killed come up way too quickly. Going at highway speeds, 4-5 seconds of WOT could equal jail time.

Wrong- 996TT is 3505. I'm looking at the owner's manual. Original thought was that 997TT was going to save about 150 pounds, but you're behind the curve on your info. 997TT saves less than 20...
