2.0 911 s, keeping it on cam is not easy! But rewarding!

[sambaman]

in some peoples case its a challenge to get to the owner ship of a 911 ....i remember when i first bought a 911 sc ....many many moons ago , god it was hard work but worth every single penny , made me skint but i was so proud to be in a 911......

Perhaps im being a complete retard here, but you're probably best off with something relatively challenging rather than ridiculously challenging if you are trying to develop skills?

I went with a GT3 on the premise that I need more skills before I will be ready to learn about on/off boost characteristics and absurd (rather than profane) power output. It depends what you are used to, but my last car was a four pot beamer, so that was as big a step as I was ready to go for. I guess that it depends upon what level your skills are at (though make sure that it correlates with where you think you are at before making a decision - most of us aren't as good as we would like to think, though there are doubtless many exceptions here on PH ).

Thx for the inputs..

I get lost, I don't know which is the right one.

hmm. seems like an expensive way to learn youre not good enough for a fast car yet.

why not start in something cheaper, but fun?

So maybe 996 GT3 is a good choice?

they can all day that...3.0 SC or 3.2 carrera is a great car for developing your driving skills..

993 ?

[gordyH]

to improve your driving skills, I wouldn't expect the car to do that, I'd get some professional training....I have first hand experience of 20minutes tution knocking huge chunks off lap times....

A 993 RS would be a good car to develop some skills in, and wouldn't depreciate. Tauter and more direct than a standard 993, yet friendly and usable enough compared to some turbo nutter bastard 911.

Thanks!

What about the GT3 MK1?

hi GT2 ......if you want a crash course in 911 excitement without too much wallet trauma.....here's my condensed wisdom which i'm sure the domster would support.

budget up to 30k for a 964RS (LHD of course) , there's a few on the market right now . This model will give you plenty of feedback to help understand how to do it right ...with some coaching.

Next sign up Don Palmer for a Bruntingthorpe day or two - 2 days budget 1k .

Next sign up Anthony Dunn ( iwannagofaster) for a couple of days at Bedford , budget 1k .

Both venues are based on airfields with nothing ( much) to hit and plenty of room , you can get up to 150 mph at brunters and 125 mph at bedders which is not readily doable on UK roads IMHO . After that you can do trackdays or terrorise badgers in country locations. If you think you can handle it , sell on the 964RS and go widow maker - 996GT2's are at bargain prices now and you will not lose on resale of the RS . End of.

Thanks for the info...

Yes, I am starting to take courses on the track and I can't wait to do that!

By the way, I really love the look of the 993 RS. 964 RS isn't bad, but what about the 993 RS?

If I can find a good 993 RS, Clubsport or not? The car is around 12 years old, does it expensive to run?

What about the GT3 MK1? Just in case I can't find the 993 RS.

Yup, professional training is great! Thx..

You said on the other thread you have already driven one. So you tell us

I think that's wonderful, but I haven't driven the 993 RS. So it is hard to decide, do you've driven both?

relatively challenging = GT3

ridiculously challenging = TVR or more seriously, a GT2 from the sounds of things...
