Default chime in

Hi Guys,
I haven't posted much as I haven't had a P car in a couple of years. I'm just about ready to start with some serious shopping for an '05 997. I see the opinions expressed on C2 vs. C2S and I'd like some feedback. Personally, I always like to go for the extra power. From what I've read here and elsewhere the 3.8 can be modified with intake, exhaust and electronics to upwards of 380 hp or so, w/o fear of major issues. Comments / opinions? I value the input and I'm hoping you guys can help out.

If you cant understand why a Porsche aficionado, or any other make, would put a tag like mine on their car then no explaining by me will help you figure it out....no offense and with all due respect of course.

I like it Pat

On a side note, I'd be curious to see a comparison of options between your car and Dan's (Edgy)....both cars are loaded to the 9's and will still likely reek of leather in 10 years time.

Edgys got that unique color,the top of the line brakes and natural brown which in hindsight I should have ordered. He also has a hard top. After reading some of his posts I figure hes worth about 100 times what Im worth! I like his car with the Porsche wheels as well.

How does the non S 997 compare to a 996 power wise.I know the hp ratings are close 320-325,but i heard that hp figures were calculated differently now.Anybody coming from a 996 care to chime in.
