re 997, S is the one to go for. Saw one at the 'ring on a test day - looked and sounded far more serious than the normal model. Meant to be as quick as the 996tt around the ring or sommat.
Re Mini Cooper, it is just the cabriolets that I don't like the idea of... and don't like Mini Ones because of the Fisher Price speedo. Otherwise, nothing against them

Whats wrong with the cabrio? You get to let bugs fly in your hair whilst speeding around happily! Thats my soft top option, toyed long and hard with a 340r but felt that as I'm no senna, the cooper s works cab will be quite fun with no major spills or running costs, and with the Hartge alloys I had on my last S, it should look awesome. (for a mini )

the 997 Carrera and Carrera S both look identical if you fit 19" alloys and PASM.
Even with this the standard car is 5k cheaper with identical spec. Thats a big difference for 25bhp.
Besides when you add sat nav, phone, sports seats, metallic one is 60 the other is almost 70k. Paqrticularly when you then add a sports exhaust and the sports chrono thingy.

I think the S will be better for resale, just a hunch.
It seemed far more dynamic going around the ring. Really quite hardcore compared to the pipe and slippers standard offering.
Maybe it just encouraged the driver a little more (or there was Guns and Roses on the CD player, not The Carpenters). Purely a personal impression. I'm sure there's not much in them on normal roads with an average driver.

5k isnt a lot of money to own an S over a standard car! Why can you still get standard cars from the dealers while the S has a long backlog already? Make like a snake and go for the Ssssssssssssssssss!

black, minus 20 suspension, LSD, sports seats, sat nav and phone.
