If you had the choice which would you choose?

[baxster]

So lets say you have 75k to spend, which would you choose?
2010 ish 997 Turbo PDK.
2012 991 C2S PDK.
or save 5 - 10k ish and go for a 997 GTS/4GTS.
I was doing my evening trawl thinking which I would have if 75k was burning a 911 shaped hole in my pocket.

997 tt everytime - the power (and its delivery) is addictive []

 

[grover]

Agree, but go for the 997 turbo s, its even faster......see RPM Tring.

 

[Clewsey]

Well that's a difficult one really and comes down the personal preference, RWD vs 4WD, NA vs Turbo etc I think the only way to decide would be to spend time with each.

Can you really get used 991's for 75k? I've not looked of late. I personally prefer the look of the 997 and pleased with my swap from C2S to GTS4.

Cheers,
Simon

 

[tscaptain]

Well, I own a Gen 2 turbo and have driven the 991C2S. For me there's no contest - and I won't be trading the turbo anytime soon![]

 

[clarkes]

If Grover can get a decent 997 Turbo S for 75k, I'll have 2 please []

GTS 2WD mate. No contest - proper driver's car.[]

Gen II GT3 2010 in Guards Red! (yes I know it's not on the list)

http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/porsche/911-gt3-997/911-997-gt-coupe-gt3-2dr/878831

Or an F430 (oops there I go again)
Or a 2007 Gallardo

Or the 2010 911 turbo

 

[baxster]

Yes 991 c2s are already at opc for 73k.
I think subject to driving the turbo would be my default position.
No chance of a turbo s for 75k.

 

[jdpef356]

Sorry Ive gone off list like Rodney.

Id go rag top and turbo


Boxster Spyder and 996 Turbo[8D]

 

[guitarplayer63]

Turbo first - fast & fun...

plus the 991 still being relatively new still has a lot to lose on early depreciation if thats relevant / important to you...

 

[Clewsey]

I'll come of the fence now [] GTS for me! 2WD or 4WD

 

[geoff lane]

Think I'd follow Rodney and go for the GT3 which seems a good deal for a 2010 with low mileage.

Bolton GT3 did not have a service until it was 3 years old. Bolton then performed the full 4 year service.

For that reason, I walked away and bought another GT3.

That is very similar to one OPC Nottm have which has been for sale for over 12 mths it is not a popular colour so I suggest we pay a bit more for a nicer blue !!

 

[tscaptain]

You mean this wishy-washy blue........?[]
