Basic C2 is £73k, C2S is £83k

Add says it's an S but 3.4, had S pipes but no S badge??

Either way that's an expensive 9k miles in 12 months

I like the exterior a lot, but the dash is terrible.

The whole interior looks Daewoo.

Gt86 is (should be) a 18-20 bag car.
Agree, it's too expensive.

That's been for sale a couple of times now. Pretty sure it was on PH for £2.5k a couple of months ago.

Spare a thought for those crazy Dutch- in Holland a base spec GT86 is 39995 Eurobobs.

Or £34778.00 English pounds.

Could be a real find for someone, i suspect it's going to be a full on wallet rapist though.

Drove round today in the wet, grip ranges from good to the square root of fk all, mid corner where the track's rubbered in the car just lets go. How anyone can drive a 911 like that on a track in that state utterly blows my mind

You say that, but he has got a map to help him.

The map is key! wink

In the wet it's a scary place. I remember following Sabine a few years ago and her lines were totally different in the wet. Made sense as there's less rubber down on the less well used parts. Still didn't stop the occasional "5p - 50p" moment mind you! I've only ever spun there in the dry mind you.....Ahem.

It's a 3.4. The 'S' has red calipers.

It's funny, but I can see the 991 doing a '996' and being a bit of a runt* in ten yrs time.

A poke around one at the weekend, next to something like, say an E38 750iL, confirms that the 991 is just massive. It's no longer a 911, which is a shame; but I suspect, entirely deliberate.

Could one even say that this deliberate action was so it became what the 928 was meant to be?

The Boxster IMO is the new '911' purely because it isn't massive.
