2004 Porsche 911 40th Anniversary: The 996 Sweet Spot? / Modern Classic Review

This is an honest and detailed review of the Porsche 911 40th Anniversary Edition, also known as the 40 Jahre. A relatively less known model that was a contemporary of the popular 996 Carrera 4S, but offering more power, less weight and a sharper focus. Half way to the GT3 it was said at the time… could this be the sweet spot in the 996 range for the modern classic collector?
