while i dont own a 996 turbo, i have driven one on many occasions, and own its more ruthless, agressive big brother, the GT2 (and a 1987 930 turbo)
overall, i think theyre pretty much the best sportscar for the money. one can be had in the 60s, and theyre incredibly well refined (compared to anything else on the market, its amazing how good and solid the P-cars feel), not too harsh for most people, and relatively easy to drive for a 911, mainly because of the AWD, the PASM and TCS, and the more neutral steering balance.
if you can afford it, BUY ONE! youll never regret it!
And then join your local porsche club of america. they have all kinds of awesome events, such as races, driving schools (which are a total blast!), dinner nights, spirited country drives, etc etc.

While I have never driven one, even the cranky Consumer Reports say that it's the best car for the money. If you buy a Corvette, you're just buying what 50,000 other people a year are doing. When you buy a 911 (I recommend the Turbo and the Carrera S as daily drivers), you're getting into what fewer than 10,000 people a year are getting to indulge in. I direct you now to Car and Driver (www.carand driver.com) to read about pretty much any Porsche you want.
Everyone knows what a Corvette is, but when you throw down a 911 at the talk table, you'll be takin' in the questions.
If you've got the money, get the Porsche.
Hope I helped you at least a smidge. =]
P.S. - By the way, the right way to say Porsche is Porsh - uh. In America, people call it Porsh - but the correct way to say it is as stated above. :-]
