Mine wasn`t a right-or-wrong issue - it`s just that I`ve never heard a
dealer or for that matter a Porsche owner refer to the car as anything like
what some people try to make of the name.
But as you so rightly pointed out - call it what you want.

It`s been two syllables since at least my 1977 911S with the heat exchangers
that Automotion made a pipe replacement for.

Since always - German doesn`t have silent letters, so you pronounce
the e. It`s pronounced the same as the female name Portia. Some
Porsche owners correct people, most don`t bother. No way is a
dealership salesman going to risk blowing a deal by correcting
someone`s grammar - they`ll follow your lead. :)
As for the original question: if the car is to be used as a daily
driver year `round, I`d recommend the M3. Otherwise, get the Carrera.
And I`d recommend waiting for the new model (type 997) rather than
getting a current model (996). Of course, with the original poster`s
money, I`d get a 72 or 73 Carrera RS. More exclusive, more fun,
cheaper to maintain, and depreciation proof (hell, they`ll likely go
UP in price).
