Opinions in here may be a bit biased, but I'd say that on the whole, the C900 is not as reliable as your '97; Especially with regard to the transmissions (auto or manual). Your '97 SET will be a good bit quicker than any C900T and with some simple and relatively cheap mods, can handle "nearly" as good. Most of all, you're going to have a longer service life with the '97. But I guess it all depends what condition your car is in currently.
If it were an option, I'd try to grab a C900 to use as a toy (especially if convert.) if you can manage without selling the '97.
I certainly know the cool factor with the C900 first hand and I wouldn't want to put a price on that, but when I'm being honest with myself I'd say that I'd have to sell my C900 before I'd sell my '02 9-3 SE.
