I reckon a lot cheaper than most super cars as you have to remember Porsches popularity lies with their reliability and lower running costs COMPARED to OTHER suposed super cars.

My Brothers Mates brother (bear with me) had a 996 turbo and he said it wasn't too bad and it was very forgiving for such a powerfull car. His 997 tuby he now has is less forgiving and requires a bit of savvy to drive it
