My experience with Hennessy service has been very satisfactory, and the sales staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Difficult question, I can see the long term value in an RS but it seems so outrageous on the street. On the other hand car is for track as much as street, so maybe the difference there swings it.

Tend to be leaning towards the more subtle appearance of the 3, but would I regret it 3 or 4 years from now when i take a track ride in an RS?

What about a decal less, matching wheel color RS. Understated (comparatively speaking) and thoroughly bad ***!

Terry Murphy at Porsche of Melbourne is a great guy

Me personally......if considering a non RS....would buy a pre owned one and let someone else take the hit

Money no object, RS

Melbourne has been great both in sales and service. I have bought both Porsche and MB's from them. Very competitive and helpful.

James Dean at Reeves in Tampa; Best new car buying experience I ever had and I will buy all my new cars from him. He went way beyond the call of duty with my trade in, exporting it t the buyer in canada etc. etc.

Service is very good at Champion, but have not bought a car from them.

I purchased an new 08 C2S from Champion and my current 10 GT3 from POM. Both a good experience, but I'd have to give the nod to POM because they really support the local PCA and go out of their way to provide a total ownership experience, meaning sales, an excellent service department and again, support to PCA events. Ask for Horst. He can make it happen.

Don't think you can go wrong with either. Which dealership is nearest to where you live?

Porsche of Melbourne is good. Never purchased a car from them but know people who have and they have been pleased. The Gray RS belonged to a friend of mine who decided he would rather have White RS when they got a slot. The service dept is top notch and caters to enthusiasts. Never had a warranty problem even when I took the car in on A6's. In fact they embrace track drivers.
