Default What would RL do? (thread #34139)



So, not to beat around the bush, I'm a bit bored with the C4S. I don't know how
else to put it. I love the thing to death, but can't stop thinking about possibly
moving onto something else. This is not a "omgz fire sale, loosing job, etc"
situation, just thinking maybe it's time?

What would you do? Vote with the poll above!

1. Keep the C4S. You're nuts, it's badass; drive it.

2. Sell the C4S + throw in $$$ for a driver 993 Turbo (leaning towards THIS)

3. Sell the C4S + throw in $$$+ for a driver 997 Turbo

4. Sell the C4S + throw in $$$ for a pristine 993 (s or non-s), in a special colour and awesome options.

5. Enjoy it for what it is, and buy a kart.

If the car isn't doing it for you, sell it. If you're looking for a DD that you don't want/need to obsess over, then maybe look at a 997TT. If this is an emotional thing, then the decision between your 3 potentials is a 993TT, no doubt.

993 TT and or 993 Ruf.

Javier's old Ruf is one of my all time favorites. Did a RLer wind up with it?

I voted 997 TT. If you are bored with your gorgeous, amazing 4S, then go as different as possible....then come back knowing 993s are the best!

* my vote may or may not have been influenced by the orange 997TT in Ilko's sig that I just saw.

2.

I did exactly this & while I miss a few of the attributes that the C4S had, the tt is simply a different beast altogether. The turbo power is truly addictive.....

I have spent a good few hours in 997tt's / tts's and while they are phenomenal in many ways (especially the S), they will always lack the soul of the 993.

Regardless Jakob - great problem to have; go drive all that you are considering to aid your decision.

If you are bored, trade up to a 993 Turbo. I can get you a 1997 with 12000 miles, currently in Ontario. Arena Red. Mint.

I do not get bored in my C4S because it is such a small fun driver. I also have a 997RS which i can drive bat **** crazy at about 8000rpm which helps avoid any stale moments, so i guess im kinda biased.

Id say a 993 turbo would be super fun if only to have one car.

If you decide to jump on anything i may have a friend in ontario that would take your C4S....

I know this is not one of the options you gave, but maybe you should consider turning into the dude in your post and then you could do the two chicks at one time with your sevenhead.

The guy in the photo doesn't have a forehead; its definitely more like a sevenhead...Baaaahaaaha

Dont forget to tip your waiters and waitresses...I'll be here all week! Goodnight everybody

I think you have to ask yourself why you are bored of it? Is it the power or lack of being something special, I'm guessing based on your other options listed.

It's human nature to get bored and want something different, we all can understand that....

This is going to cost you possibly premium $ but I would get a 993TT in a special color! Combo of option 2 & 4.

Jakob,
Its not clear WHY you are bored with it. Figure that out first, then we can help you spend $$$$. From #2,3 it seems you want more power. But then #4 sounds like something all together different (and more like what you have already, so why bother...)...

What do you do with the car? Daily driver, AX/DE, make more mods, make more friken cool videos Have you ever done Autocross or DE events with the car? That will keep your interested in an all new way...
