What would you choose for double duty? Please read.

I want to make the move into a car that is fun to drive 2-3 days per week and tour around in on the weekends, and that is also capable at the track. I have narrowed my choices to a 996 (non turbo, rear drive) or a C5. You can find nice examples of either one for under $20k, they are both fast, fun, and reliable (or so they seem from what I know of them at the track). Which would you choose and why? I am not a Porsche guru, and for this reason I feel like I am leaning toward the vette. The LS engines are strong and fairly simple to work on, parts are also easy to come by... but there is still something about a 996

 

Any thoughts?

No brainer. The C5. I'd go nowhere near a sub $20k 996, let alone as a track toy. You'll spend that in maintenance in a year!

C5 for serviceability, maintnenace, etc, etc

Exactly, very strong points when considering a car.

I'd still go with athe nicest 996 I could afford, though.

C5 times a billion. Among other things, it would roll the crap out of a non-Turbo 911. The other things have already been listed
