Hi. Hoping this helps. But it probably won’t.

I sold the 996tt as part of my migration West. I probably should have kept that car but it sounded so good without cats that I could never drive it again with the OEM exhaust.

So I picked up a 2020 1SS convertible. 6 speed. And.......a 2SS would have been better with leather and HUD, but it’s really fun. Just effortless acceleration. Decent body control. Sight lines are meh. But I really like the car. It shifts well and the clutch is effortless.

If you’ve ever been on San Diego highways, you know they can be five lanes across...and jammed with traffic. Or wide fucking open and traffic is screaming to LA at 90mph. In either situation the Gen6 does just fine. Maybe a gripe is 6th gear acceleration sucks.

I’m less picky as I get older or maybe I appreciate the end of an era more.

Anyway it’s worth it. And I bet the coupe is even more solid. A little lighter. And I bet the 1LE package kicks serious ass.
