If you really can't budget to have two cars I'd go with the new FR-S/BRZ. If one has to consciously think about what maintenance costs would be on a 911 and hesitancy comes up regarding if you can afford it or not, you really shouldn't get.

You would be surprised how similar the 996 and 997 drive. Ive had a 2003? C4S, a 2005 Turbo S and a 2010 997TT. I had 2 air cooled before that.
I took my C4S to lots of track days with ZERO mods, stock brakes stock everything and had ZERO problems. The Turbo S was tuned and had some upgrades- It was sport bike fast. The 997TT was was a great car, better interior/exterior etc but lost my interest quickly(not sure why).
