I'm seriously considering a 997 turbo after I sell my GS. We'd sell my wife's 996 as well and replace both those cars (GS, 996) with the 997. Would still keep our LS430 as our daily and her track car (M3)
I saw one in the local Porsche dealer's showroom that just floored me.

Get a $17k 00-01 Porshe Boxster & get the 997 conversion kit for it. You can even slap a 997 motor in it
Porshe tuner Ruf will make your dreams of having a 997 come true...

RUF offers a 3.8 liter 997 Carrera S Engine Conversion for the Porshe Boxster S. Each conversion includes a crate motor from Porsche, complete RUF exhaust (headers, sport cats, muffler), RUF air intake, RUF tuned 997 ECU, all necessary wiring, hardware and labor.
The RUF 3.8 liter Boxster S conversion will yield 365hp and has the same reliability and maintenance intervals as a RUF 3800S and 997 Carrera.

i prefer the 997's front headlights over the 996 that's what bugs me about the 996...just doesnt look like a P-Car. Not that i would complain if someone gave me a 996 but if i were to buy it would be a 997

Any version of the 997 to me is waaaay better than the 996.
Dave, when you sell your car, I got dibs on your wheels. Seriously.
