Quicker than a 12C on a track and better than a GTR on the road.
I'm sceptical because lol journalists but still, that's very impressive to even be able to claim victory.

I drove a 997 C2S earlier this week.Your enthusiasm is infectious. What you've posted has convinced me to try a 997 C2 before I decide anything.
I drove a 997 C2S earlier this week.
Good points:
- Comfortable
- The extra torque over my old 996 C2 was really noticeable
- Interior was a huge improvement on the 996
- Sounded lovely
Bad points:
- Too refined
- Very little drama or excitement
My car is just for fun so if it doesn't excite me then I need to look elsewhere.
I'm glad I tried a 997, and I'd still like to try a Cayman S, but I think if I ever get another Porsche it's going to have to be a GT3.
I'd imagine your setup adds quite a bit of drama over a standard one.Pretty much spot on. They are quite refined but I find mine delivers excitement plentiful, but you do have to drive it pretty damn hard or be on it as such. Also in fairness mine is running GT3 lower arms, GT3 front and rear anti-roll bars and is setup for neutral/oversteer with an alignment more aggressive than a GT3 RS.
I've tried a 996.1 GT3 and I found the engine far too peaky but, given everything I've read about them, written by people who know far more than I do, I suspect I need to adjust my driving style to suit the car.Gibbo said:A GT3 should blow you away! I find my stripped M3 more refined/less drama than my 911 in some ways.
Just waiting in the showroom for a man to service the 996 turbo. Stating up the rear end up a 991 C2, very nice indeed! I love the wrap around light.
It just looks like it means business more. Very aggressive rear. I would
I wasn't keen on the 991 shape when it first arrived but I like it more every time I see it.
Other stuff? Well, the transmission features a strange clutch-neutral feature: pulling both gear-selector paddles simultaneously disengages both clutches, and then releasing either will instantly engage whichever clutch is meshed to the next gear. From a rest, this serves as a rudimentary launch-control system, leaving you to choose the right revs and blend the throttle. Alternatively, you can use it to perform massive, smoky burnouts or to pop the car into low-speed oversteer if the traction control is off. We’re not quite sure why it’s there beyond pure hooliganism, but we like it.
That's a joke! What a silly manMy old car is for sale by the OPC that bought it

There was one guy interested, I offered it to him for £39k but he told it it was not worth that lol
That's a joke! What a silly man
Lol yah I know its a shame as it was a genuine car for a very reasonable price.
I fixed the link now

But I am quite happy overall because I paid £38500 for it 10 months ago.
So far I have done quite well with my 911's
Targa 4 paid 27500 and sold it one year later for £31500 but did spend about £4k running it
C2S PDK paid £38.5k and sold for £39k with very little running costs.
New one I bought for £41.5k but its probably worth close to £48k.
I love free motoring lol
