Thanks and I hear u...I had been looking around at GTR's etc...but then I found this deal...the 4S makes it. Also a big selling item for me was the local PCA club...very active...track days at Sebring, etc...can't wait

Thanks and either would be sweet...I had to have what they call the "wide body" and a Turbo was just a bit out of my reach...plus this was a great car and a great deal.

Beautiful. My dad has wanted that exact car for years. He's been on the hunt lately for a decent one that fits his specs.
But I now see why the Lexus of Tampa Bay meets were cancelled...

Oh no that is not why...I did not even have this car in sight when the decision was made to stop the meets...however, it did happen soon after that decision so i could see why one might think that. I wish all the luck to the Lexus enthusiast in Tampa and I had a bunch of fun!

very very nice !!! I wonder if someone 6'5" could fit in one. I have had my eye on the 911s or a GTR. If I wait then I will need to get a bigger sedan in a few years. Thinking of having some fun now , while I can

With that being said, the C4S must not have been satisfactory?

how do you like the 997.1 turbo vs the 997.2 c4s?

The interior and electronics of the 997.2 seem superior

Hey man...long time. My advice would be to drive each. I have never driven a GTR and I know the GTR is faster on paper but there is somehting about the driving experience of a 911 that you just have to evaluate yourself...however, the problem you may find like I did was you will want more power and so then you start looking at Turbos. When you start seriously looking, PM me and I can edcuate you on all that I have learned about Porsche and all the various versions of the 911...good luck!

The 997.2 C4S is an amazing car and I loved mine...it was pretty fast and cornered like it was on rails BUT the big difference is like the ISF...you are limited with tuning and the N/A mods do not add a lot...I did an exhauts and tune and pretty much maxed my C4S out at 410hp.

Thanks...yes it is! I recently installed an aftermarket high performance clutch to be ready to start tuning...my goal is 600hp/tq...well for now LOL and I can do that without touching the internals

Thanks...one great thing about the Porsche Turbo is the tuning potential...I have been wondering the same thing...so MYISF has not shown up on Clublexus? A buudy of mine thought he saw it at some dealer stripped of all the mods???
