You should conduct this same poll on a Porsche forum, just to be even.

 

At least it's a turbo you're looking at - it would have to be one at a minimum to consider moving from a big power Supra

 

I personally wouldn't consider a Porker unless it was a 997 Turbo (just preference), but they aren't the same price at all!

how much does he want for the 996

Just what I was thinking! Expect a partisan response.

Go for the Porsche, mkiv Supras keep getting cheaper so you can easily come back to one.

 

You have to try new things in life, you just have to be able to afford them!!

Porches dont do it for me, I would stick with the supra.

[listy]

Put the Supra back to a twin turbo, buy the Porker, and slap that tubby on it

 

Personally, I'd stick with the Supe, Porsches just don't do it for me (bar the Cayman R )

[Luxluc]

996 don't do it for me

[stevie_b]

Well, I like the Porsche. As long as you don't drive it like you're Gordon Gecko, you'll be fine.

Friend of mine had a 996, nice car but hellish on parts etc. He had 2 new engines under warranty within a year along with a clutch and the suspension. Finally got it up to spec and it was written off by a truck that rear ended him. I would look into the various problems regarding certain years of these cars as they are well documented, and expensive to fix. His car wasn't even old or high mileage

996's are great cars but not on the same level as the supra. Well IMO anyway

[LOGIE]

Didnt you have a porker before? I tend to agree with branners on this. You can always come back to a supra as they are getting cheaper. Im guessing there ia a poll...I cant see it or vote on tapatalk. Porker for me mate. Then again I do love your no nonsense supra...its properly built.

Theres something about that particular porsche in the picture that looks sort of odd, doesn't sit well with me.

[safcdixon]

Supra=ftw

 

Porsche=fireball

[Jord]

I don't think asking on the Supra forum will get you the best results

 

Stick with the sup though!

Been looking at Porsches for a long time now and waiting till I have a garage and £40K to spend before I go for a 997 Turbo. I have been warned about regular problems and high servicing costs etc.

 

I would never dream of having a 996 though. One of Porsche's poorer moments. Terrible reliability, and poorly put together.

No 1st hand experience of one - however that was the conclusion of my research into that Gen.

Even Stevieboy (member on here and Porsche Technician) warned me away from the 996.

[thetrashcanman]

Supra everytime mate

[FOSTA]

I can't see heads turning with that Porsche but I can see them turning with your supra!

[supra_ufo]

relocate your number plate and keep the supra.

Didn't Ellis look at swapping his Supra for a 996? Think it was a 996, anyway he drove it, was wholly unimpressed with it and stayed with the big T.
