While not bad looking, the 996s are far uglier than the 997 and the 993. You might not be content over time just based on the looks. It seems really dated to me whereas the Z does not.

I've driven a tiptronic 996 Turbo a few times, which I REALLY don't recommend. The shifting was incredibly slow and sloppy due to the old tech, definitely get a manual if you're going to pull the trigger.

Road feel of a Porsche can't be beat! I wish the Z's steering was a bit heavier and more connected.
