By far the Turbo is much more fun to drive. The 55 is a great car and plenty quick in it's own right but no match for the 996 when the boost kicks in. The Turbo handles much quicker and is significantly lighter as well so that is a huge factor but it is also louder and rides rougher.
For for all out fun the Turbo kills the 55 but if I was going to have to drive only one for everyday use I would take the 55 since is it quiter and smoother.

Nice toy.
I was just looking at one of those recently myself. I'm planning on waiting for a year or so and pick up an '06 Aston Martin V8 Vantage instead. The main reason is I've had a couple of Porsches already and like to mix it up with something I haven't played with yet.
