Porsche for outright and clinical performance of ridiculous proportions.

Jag for presence and "that noise".

Merc for lots of expensive things to go wrong.

[markmullen]

The 996 turbo will lose the least over time and as such will cost the least, not only that maintenance is likely to be the cheapest of the 3 and performance the best. I am biased though.

[Rabbo]

Er, have you driven any of them? I doubt you would be as indecisive if you had, no?

[RDRR]

Did you consider the Maserati 4200 GT?

Out of those three though it would have to be the 911 if you enjoy driving or the Jag if you prefer to cruise, but i think the Maserati could do both?

[soad]

What about M6?

[Porkie]

M6 is good shout

and this is from an owner of a 996Turbo.

[Mazdarese]

Is it half-term already?

[naikdipe]

Hey guys thanks for your quick replies

BMW M6 - yeah I looked at it, but this is my second BMW in a row already and quite frankly just want a change

As for test driving I have not yet, I live out the country at the moment and heading back for a couple weeks in March when I will drive them all. BUT, from all my research I can't separate them (in different ways of course)

[patmahe]

We seem to be giving him more problems, not solutions

For me OP it'd be the 911, but thats purely a 'head' decision, my heart would probably pull me towards the Jag, and the Merc might be nice too. Worth driving all 3 as someone said, should make your mind up pretty quick.

Either way can I just say I'd love to have your dilema oh and welcome to the site.

I don't really view any from that list a supercars to be honest. Can you get a 355 for that kind of money?

Out of your list, my preference is the XKR.

[jimmyjam]

996 for me.
Sorry to go OT but whilst they are very, very nice I'm not sure I would call these supercars?

355 - Starting from 35k ... Also the costs of repairs will be sky high right ?

[lalli220]

996 Turbo

or my preference 964 Turbo
