996C2 to NSX?

...or an NSX-R!

These comparos rapidly spiral in complexity.

I drove a 997; the interior could've been anything. The 996's interior was parts-binned with the 986's, which I thought was the closest the Swabians get to 'great fun & not being too earnest'. I liked the swirly retroness of the 986, but the 996 is far too self-important than that.

What I would say though is the neither Arthur-nor-Martha 993 was cheap and unloved once; you got a new one or a G-series. Maybe in the fullness of time the 996's good qualities will be appreciated too.

I was with you until 986. Is this some kind of shorthand language, or was it the English lesson I was absent for?


Cheers,

James.

Sorry; 986 is the Boxster equivalent of the 996, as the 987 is to the 997.

I posted a much less terse reply, but hit that ****ing "reply to thread" button in error again!

Hey Nick,

It wasn't the prefixes, it was the rest;-)
I do commiserate with the 'reply to thread' button. Some of my best messages have fallen victim to this.

Cheers,

James.
