►The Porsche 996 911 is one of the most talked-about models ever produced by Porsche for quite a few reasons, some good, some bad, some valid, some not. Perhaps its most significant claim to fame is that it represents the cheapest way for regular car enthusiasts to buy their dream car. It's the dream, the attainable reality, the *gasp*, "poor man's Porsche 911." That tired phrase has been repeated often, but is there such a thing?

In our first Buyer's Guide featuring the FCP Euro Proving Grounds at Lime Rock Park, we demystify the monumental list of models, trims, and all the options of the Porsche 996 911. With that, we also show you precisely what you can expect and what to look out for before shopping for your first 996, and what to do once you own one.

Follow along as Christian Schaefer, FCP Euro's Staff Writer and resident Porsche aficionado, teaches us everything we need to know about the Porsche 996 911.
