I have had a lot of 911’s including a 996TT (modified to 540HP). There are only two 911’s which i felt were out to bite me and the 996 was one of those (the other was a 1972 Kremer 2.6RT, where T is titanium not turbo). I also felt that the steel brakes were not up to the job, in comparison to the Alpina B10V8S I had before the 996 and are not in the same league as the PCC brakes on my 997TT. The 993C2 is a lovely balanced car and an appreciating asset, if kept in perfect condition, which the OP’s looks to be. However I totally understand that after 10 years, the OP is looking for pastures new. My recommendation would be to squeeze the bank balance and go for a 997, which is a country mile better than the 996. The 997 is better suspended, the 4WD works better, it has far better brakes, the turbo lag is considerably less, the interior finish far better and it’s prettier to boot.
