Did you also test drive a pre owned turbo, and if so what was your rationale for going with the C2S cab?

Both were new at the time. I liked the Turbo A LOT. I like to drive fast and figured the turbo would be the way to go. However, given how fast the S was, I didn;t see the point of spending the extra money. Also, on a cool summer night or brisk fall day ... you will wish you had a Cab!

I have driven both. It was simply a bang for the buck type call for me. The turbo is insane fast, without a doubt, but the S is incredibly quick as well, and felt a little bit lighter on its feet. I would not turn down a Turbo at the right price, but I think the better value, if you can use that word when looking at these types of cars, is the S.

Good luck. Gotta love first world problems eh? hehe

I was in the same dilemma as well and i ended up getting a C2S cabriolet with factory fitted X51 powerkit. I told myself i can get a turbo anytime later, but to find a C2S with X51 is kinda rare over on this side of the continent. I never track and don't really drive that fast anyways, so the power of the C2S was more than sufficient for me.
