I am looking at upgrading choices are 996 special edition with power pack sports suspension, exhaust etc,, low mileage, or 996 turbo
Opinions and why that choice extremly welcome

 

what do you have now?

Yes, what are you upgrading from. This could make a big difference. I currently have a c2 996 and when I upgrade it would be to a TT. Then probably a GT3. But if you are upgrading from a different or older model the 996 is a beautiful choice. The exhaust sound is brilliant, the acceleration pure and handling well, any curve, any time, any place!!!!

 

+1 with MSU. My exact planned progression.

next for me is TT - that rhymes, meant to be?

 

Oops sorry, early 996 gaurds red with ps9 suspension

 

I would suggest this upgrade:

 

gt3

 

Has anyone been tracking the TT prices? Hmmmm??

lost it, I would recommend the turbo because you will always want more speed. I have had my 996 c2 for some time now and with the prices being resonable, I am leaning towards the TT upgrade.

What are you plans? Daily driver, DE events, any plans for mods?

 

It looks like you can get a fairly nice TT now in the upper 50's to low 60's - nice

 

TT...no question

 

996 TT's are a great value, but the thing that i could never like about it is the turbo lag. The throttle response is lacking and it's not linear either, but for some people i understand that the swell of power makes it fun - just not for me.

the GT3 is insane with the latest iteration being my fav 911, but i do like the widebody of the 997 C4S.

sorry for the tangent!

 

I think that the lag is part of its charm - IMO

 

The new gt3 uses the c4 widebody platform............. It is FAT.

 

Drooled all over a 2006 997 C4S in Lapis Blue last week. Not impressed with the cab aspect, but that shape in Lapis Blue = WOW!

I really envy you C4S guys. While they look good on the net, they are BEAUTIFUL in person.
