[Gideon911]

Hey guys, I'd like to hear some opinions from you guys. I know people will say drive them both..It's really not that simple. I've driven a 997 at a dealer, but it's not like I can rip through canyon roads on a test drive. I don't have any close buddies with these models (where I could possibly test through canyons). I found a 991.1 s in manual not too far from my house and the price is reasonable (50k with 66k miles). I think they've depreciated plenty. It's difficult to find a 991.1s in manual. I'm sure pdk is great but I don't ever sit in traffic. I get to drive awesome canyon roads all the time. I have an 88 911 with a lot of weight out of it (2500 LBS), upgraded pistons and cams, all new suspension which is stiffer than stock, steve wong chip, etc. That car is a lot of fun. I've also got a 72E with a 3 liter in it, that car is a blast also (light weight and very nimble). 7 years ago I owned a 2008 Cayman S, which I loved..but it just wasn't a 911. I like the 997.2 and the 991.1 a lot. Seems like the 997 has slightly better steering feel, from what I've read..but the 991.1 should be awesome as well. It would be really fun to have a 911 with some creature comforts, and just to try a water cooled 911 for the first time. If you guys have any input or suggestions let me know. I do a lot of canyon driving, and drive my cars for random things pretty often. I love the air cooled visceral experience. I enjoy driving a slow car fast. In the past I've leaned more towards the air cooled cars because of that. I know I can't drive a newer 911 close to full out on canyon roads..
