Hi Folks,

I would be most interested to hear your views on the arguments for and against the 997 Turbo vs Gen 2 Carrera 2S vs Gen 2 Carrera 4S?

Also PDK vs manual?

I have owned and enjoyed in the past 996 C4S and 997 C2S, both in manual.

I am now ready to partake in new purchase, which will be 997 Turbo or Gen 2 Carrera 2S or Gen 2 Carrera 4S. Manual or PDK. I guess the GTS would just about be in the price band too.

I like the idea of the power of the 997 Turbo, but some have said it the car very quiet until such times as you are going warp speed and the turbos kick in? I loved the sound of my old 996 C4S with Hayward & Scott back box.

The car will be used for road use and not track use. 3rd car in the family, 3,000 miles per annum. Not worried about fuel consumption. I would place the driving experience way ahead of shaving nominal amounts off pointless Nurburgring lap times!

The car will be second hand, budget £40k to £70k.

Many thanks for your input! redface)
