However, I voted 911, well, because I'm partial to Porsche. Though, it depends on the model. If I could afford it, a '98 993 911 Turbo would be my choice. I don't mind the 996 models, but would stray away from a Carrera unless it was a 4S. Last edited by Haboob; 04-04-2013 at 11:34 AM. Reason: Too many "however"'s were being used. |

It's a tough call honestly. I just grabbed this 2012 sport, was considering older 911 as option myself. Dad has a 2006/8? 911 S
I think you would be happy with either one. I would say get the nismo-but I'm partial. Last edited by GSS138; 04-04-2013 at 11:53 AM. |

You can't go wrong either way. As some have suggested, I would avoid the older models with the IMS issues. Have you test driven them both? It's hard not falling in love with a P car once you've driven one. I should know, I have a 981 Boxster on order. The Z is a good all around performer its affordable, decent interior quality, great styling both inside and out, and drives like a real sports car. But it leaves something to be desired once you've driven a Porsche, but that's just my opinion. You'll have a smile on your face no matter which one you end up with. But if you ask me, 911 all the way.

First off the 370 Nismo ought to be just as fast as a 996 or 997 on a straight. This is my experience at the track. I just saw the 991S in action on Saturday at Laguna Seca. I say buy the Nismo now and in 4-5 years buy the 2013 911S. This is what I am thinking myself. The car is just amazing.
