Anytime. 
That's the 997 gen 911 Turbo. Man am I having trouble keeping myself away from wanting to dive into one of those babies, after seeing one on the lot the other day. 480HP TT in a 3500 lb precision tool and AWD. I'm not a speed freak so it's not even about the brute speed or performance, just something truly "magical" about the engineering put into a 911 Turbo!

You can get a 997 Turbo with under 30K miles for about $10+K less than a brand new or very lightly used 2012/2012 991 Carrera BASE (non S, little Options). I keep wondering which I'd choose between the two, if I were so daring to go consider either. I would have said 991 for sure before, until I saw a 997 next to one the other day and was blown away by the aggressive presence of the 997 next to the much cleaner "canvas" look of the Carrera (even being the sleeker body of the 991). Also, having a 911 Turbo, especially a modern one with upwards of 480 HP sprinkled in Porsche's black magic witchcraft (where their horses are much more potent than other manufacturers horses), seems like it would be like having your own personal amusement park. An exhilarating race-car ride every time you drive one.
Still, I think I might lean toward the 991 Base Carrera were I in the market.... but I just wouldn't be able to make up my mind.
Should just do like Hype and forget the hypothesizing, find one, like it, buy it.

997 Targa is a great choice. The Aston Martin and Maserati are cool as well, but in the end the classic style of the Porsche and the reliability win it for me. Post some pics!
