The 997's are larger than the 996 which is one thing that pleasantly surprised me about the 996. It really had a very familiar 911 feel to it, only modern. I've driven 997 and 991 and they feel really bloated and heavy to me.
Very disappointed in this. For the past year I have been singing the praises of the 996 to anyone who would listen, now I have egg (motor oil?) on my face. Right now I'm leaning heavily towards selling it as-is and be done with it. Will contact BYprodriver to see what a replacement engine costs but right now I cannot see myself putting any more money into this car.
