Well then this isn't a fair comparison, is it? I could slap VF Engineering's
supercharger onto a 2002 911 3.6 and have a car that's lighter weight and more
powerful the a 996 Turbo. And I promise it'll "ooh" and "aah". Hell, I've been
in a modified 944 Turbo that'll blow the doors off a 2003 M5. I'm sure your
Dinan modified M5 is easy to compare to a stock 911...

Your 1984 928 will smoke a 996?

I'm sort of sympathizing with the disparaging statements a little. Two
years ago or so I test-drove a 2000 Tip, and it felt weak, cheap and tired
compared to my '97 993. The brand new 2003's at the time were better, but I
decided to wait. I'm now waiting for the 997 cabs to come out.

Well, there are literally millions of experienced drivers, including
myself,
who find that to be a silly and obtuse claim. But it's your car and you
money
so drive whatever you like. The last M car I thought had anything on a 911
in
terms of raw sportiness was the 4-cylinder 88-91 M3.
