Sorry, thought you had a GTI !
I got bored with the 996, the 996 is tail happy but I was never a good enough driver to get the back out and keep it under control - a lot of people seem to get fun from doing this which could explain my feelings towards it.
The feedback from the steering was great and it give a great sense of occassion, but the numbers ramp up on the speedo and it never felt "fast" to me as it was so smooth and eventually I went back to the E46 M3.
Still great cars though.
Lol no I have its posher, more economical brother

Interestingly the owner of this had chopped in his E46 M3 for the Porsche
