Default 991 C4S

Drove one this weekend with PDK. Not ready to trade but I could live with it. Felt smoother and lighter than my car. Not as torquey as the X51 Powerkit, but smoothness counts. I felt like Michael Schumacher in the PDK.

I'm afraid to drive a 991 cab because based on the looks alone, I want one. Love how they've "squashed" it a bit.

I park my 03 C4S next to a new 991 CS everyday. Don't see much of a difference. If Porsche didn't make great cars that last forever, they might have more returning customers :-) I've had 6 Porsches, but I kept 2 for over 10 years each. Can't see a reason to get a new one until I wreck the old one.

This is my first Porsche. I can't see any reason to get another Porsche as the one I have has everything I need and I intend to keep it running for as long as I am able. Before the advent off the 996 I could never have afforded a 911. When my wife bought it as my 70th birthday surprise, I knew nothing about the 5 to 10% bearing failures of this model. It was only when I hit the forums did I discover why this model sold for less than other Porsche 911s. My 99 cab has the double bearing. I sleep well most nights knowing I own a Porsche 911 no matter what model. It's the car I always wanted and I am in no rush to change it.

I would love a 991 C4S as a replacement for my 996 C4S. I'm not sure if I would go for a 7-speed manual or for PDK. I really need to drive a PDK car.
