I'm *slightly* considering getting it into working order and selling it if the market were to pick up a little. Use the money for business in the short (could use a little more working capital) and down the road in a year or two, go a different direction. Something that would be a trully awesome all arounder, rain or shine, great acceleration but even better handling, yet comfortable and with tame manners when just getting around. Then I thought, mmm, what about used 997. Some pretty good examples seem available in the 40-50k range.
What are the pros and cons of this platform? Are they reliable if well maintained? Do they eat tires or have other annoying habits?
I might just end up keeping the Vette and making it more and more my own, but I am certainly curious about the Turbo Porsche.

I have heard only good things. I know you can pick up used 996 turbos for very reasonable prices. I would definitely opt for the X50 package if you go that direction.
The only downside I can think of is that if something does go wrong, I think it will be very expensive to fix relative to the Vette. Also, if you wanted to do any modding I think that would be quite expensive as well.
