No offence meant to anybody, just surprised that some say a nice car can't be enjoyed at weekends.....wow!
I think what was meant is the turbo, whilst an excellent car, is lacking the feel most would want in a weekend car.

I can understand that, from my point of view it looks amazing and has tons of power that's good enough for me. I don't want a car that I will rag the nuts off every weekend. Just something that I can take pleasure in owning.

A 996 turbo will take your breath away. They're very special cars IMO. Try a 996 GT3 too if you can as i think they're lovely weekend cars too. Can't go wrong with either.
