Show us your base C2!
#91
what's it like to drive a base?
Currently own a GT4-- on waiting list for the 991.2 GT3.
Looking for a DD for the next few years. I am seriously contemplating a base C2 with nothing-- not even Sports Chrono. What do you guys think about a barebones base with nothing? I don't want to waste any money on upgrades I could use towards the GT3.
Am I nuts?

It will be difficult to resist adding stuff.

This is exactly what I did and I also have a deposit on a future .2 GT3 allocation so in the meantime I picked up from dealer inventory a 103k-msrp .2 Carrera with a manual. There were a few options I didn't mind but I got it down to the mid 90k's after negotiations. No sport chrono neither but just enough sport-related goodies to make me happy including PSE which is a must for me. I was surprised they even had an M7 in stock... they said the Manuals are quite scarce since nearly all that are equipped with it are based on a customer's sold pre-ordered but they built one for inventory last minute as one of their last allocations. This one just arrived... and I took it home.

Nope you're not... the standard Carrera is not really just a basement bottom dweller model anymore. It's quite quick, performs very well, and comes loaded with goodies from the getgo.

Good to see some base car love, here's mine. I must have built 50 versions on the cofigurator before finally locking in the order. Graphite Blue, 7MT, standard black interior, 18-way seats, Sport Chrono, PSE.
I had a pretty specific budget and tried to spec it to be as performance focused, versus luxury, as I could without moving into an S. Coming from the air cooled cars I wanted to keep some of the old school items too, like manual transmission and regular key (versus keyless entry) too. Still added in a few lux touches here and there, but nothing over the top.
These shots are from when we picked it up in August at the Atlanta PEC, with Ray Shaffer, in WVA with some R Gruppe friends, and with it's 964 garage mate.

Ooh that's a pretty ! perfect choice as far as I am concerned...
I bought used, so I did not get to pick exactly "a la carte", but I looked long and hard for a car with as few options as possible and got one eventually... For me it wasn't so much budget (used is cheaper) as long term hassles (or lack thereof, less stuff to go bad).. Graphite blue is fantastic, good choice !!
