Wondering if you chaps could help.

I would like a few 2-3 sentence reviews of the C2S manual. I am going to use the review on our website, so people who know nothing about the car will get some feedback from people who use them every day - essentially a sales pitch (ie positive reviews only)! This will be included with performance stats and an independent view supplied by us.

Any submissions to the website will be credited - we would like PH'ers to supply reviews for all our cars, so I am submitting this post to all the relevant forums.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

C2S
make sure you spec the short shift manual gearbox option
it is fantastic.
I have enjoyed every minute driving the car and listening to the
roar of the sports exhaust (optional)
The car looks great as i also specified the -20mm suspension option (no cost)
Handling and steering always meets the demand at whatever speed you are driving.
I cannot imagine a better package the C2S is great value for money.

People think the 997 C2S is the soft option for wealthy enthusiasts with a need for driving dynamics, reliability and bullet proof engineering, it's not, it's the only option.

Why only positive reviews?? Surely, people not in the know or looking to buy would want a balanced view and to know if there any downsides or niggles with the car.

Keep it simple:


The legend that is the Porsche 911. Drive it. Love it.


You don't need to say anything else.

Sorry to hear and hope you can sort things out fast. I like the pic of the blue GT3 on your profile. Great colour thumbup Did you actually spec it that way?
