Anyone here owned a 997 C2/C2S and moved to 997 TT or GTR?

Hi Gibbo, hope you are well. It was Spareparts 997.2 Turbo S you went around Oulton on the wet RS day a couple of years ago...at rediculous speeds
Have you thought about a 991? A non S 3.4 is in your budget (just) and might be an interesting alternative.
p.s. are you going to the Cat & Fiddle on Sunday? You missed the last one ...

Was going to the meet, but its our companies yearly stock take.
Ah excellent, yet that car at Oulton was mind boggling good, though it did seem way to easy to go so fast. But in fairness I'd rather a les raw road car in favour of something hugely quick now I've got a silly fast E46 M3 designed for track use which is epic on a dry track but very harsh on road.
My C2S as you remember is very focused, if anything its like a 997.1 GTS, but was very costly to track and in such clean condition. Hence the E46 for track so the idea is to move the C2S on soon and change to something stupid quick for road, hence 997 Turbo or GTR plan.

I had a 997 C2S, now have a 997,2 GT3RS, thankfully in between Ive had 2 x R35 GTR's - Try a GTR, you have to own one to understand what makes it so special, its a surreal experience, like it came from a different planet. And its nothing like a 997 TT, its better.

Do have to say for me the attractions are:-997 Turbo - Porsche steering, lighter on its feet, no bigger than a normal car so can be hustled on narrow roads and well Porsche badge.
GTR - Its faster, modding friendly with warranty still available modified and well a much newer car and less money.
Right now it would be gen1 TT or GTR, I think GTR is the better buy at 40k budget area. Up that to 50k-60k and then the gen2 is more of a competitor and makes the choice harder, would probably go gen2 TT then.
