Werd. My 911 from 2002 has a suede headliner, legit leather dash and very comfy seats. I think the 997 interior is much better than the 996 though. Fit/finish/quality \> looks.

The ZR1 is a sick car in performance numbers. You won’t find one better for cheaper. The problem is 98% of Americans don’t buy cars JUST for the performance numbers. The inside is where they spend most of their time, so that’s where they like to see the quality.
