I will agree that they are great highway / road trip cars.

If it was me I would drive a few examples of each to get a good feeling overall.
Oh yeah, I got on it a few times. It just didn't feel as fast as I thought it should. It may have been either that it wasn't making full power, or it could have been that the power delivery was so smooth and steady, that it never gave you that punch in the butt that a peakier power curve gives.

I did only drive that one and one naturally aspirated 996, so my sample size was very low on those.
