Similar prices, different car's altogether though - which one would you have and why?

I'd go with the 991 C2S. Not as quick but much nicer interior and quite a car at full chat. Make sure it has a sports exhaust.

Depends on your views on steering....hydraulic on the turbo has more feel than the rather inert electric 991 setup although this, imo, is to a degree lost by it being 4wd........

The other point is transmission..........if both are 'manuel' then the turbo box is much better. But if both are PDK then the Carrera wins.

Finally, overall, the C2S will inevitably prove more involving from a 911 viewpoint, although both could now be seen as sports GTs rather than sports cars. Because of this, my money would go on a 997 GTS giving an almost perfect blend of true 911.......driving

Good advice this. A 997 GTS is a very special car too. But where do you stop? 997 GT3 best of the lot!
