Don't care for all-wheel drive. If I did, I'd get an Audi. It just doesn't belong on a true sports car, that's unless you'll drive it in the winter. I have a beater car for winter.
I'd love to have a GT3RS or that sick as all hell "widow maker" GT2 if I had the funds. After seeing the GT3RS up close, it's one hell of a car. Add some PSS9 Damptronics and have your own ride comfort, or track monster.
I was thinking of adding X51 on my car, but for only 26HP and $17K? I passed.
I too have PCCB's and these things are just fabulous! Wish the C2S was a bit lighter so adding PCCB's are worth the reduced weight. Still, they do work as they say, no rust, no dust and do stand out.
After reading Total 911 on the Cargraphic 997S Cab at 404hp, but more importantly, how sharp the handing is. They took a shot of the engine bay, no added air intake or mods, just a flash/remap via "RS Tuning". The author says it's knife-edge sharp in cornering and general handling and sounds great too.
So, I'd save my $$ and put yourself on the list for a GT2, or wait to see what's next for the 997 if any paddle shift will be coming soon. Now that would be sweet.

It might take me a few months to muster up the guts to throw down that kind of $$$.

real thing? a bunch of bologna. the 997TT has turbo lag period. it's awd. the carrera 3.8 gets more raves than the 997TT which is more of a GT car.
if you want rwd and zero lag which is best, go for the c2s or the gt3. if you like mad power, and don't mind the lagginess of a turbo engine, go for the TT.
they're all real deal 911s.

If you are going to buy new the TT can not be beat. If the GT3 is too rough(which it is not for me) the TT is it. Plus there are no more GT3s left and you would have to pay over MSRP even for a used 997GT3.

I will not buy another NA 911 until PAG starts using true dry sump engines again. Been there, done that with my 996, I just don't trust them. That's why turbos and GTs are the "real deal" IMO.
