Suffering massive case of can't make mind up.....

move to US next week.
Can't get a 997S till the fall (whatever that is), and don't know what to do in the meantime.

Recent road and track said Corvette C6 was best sports car, though it was thrashed by 997S before cost was taken into consideration. I should be able to pick one of those up right away, but should I consider something else and plan to keep it for the winter (WA, some snow)? I've told myself that 4x4s are plain wrong (and thankfully wasn't made to comment on these during my visa interview), but worryingly, I'm thinking about an F150 lightning.....

Need advice please......:confused:

now that is a cunning plan......

US STi has a 2.5L with 300hp (albeit american 3 legged ones). Quoted as <5.0 0-60, <14sec 1/4.
Just been quoted GBP16,842 (at 1.79:1). New, stock, immediately available. Compare with STi UK, 2.0L 265bhp, 5.3 0-60.

And I get to be one of the first to have a GT3...
Brilliant idea. Now back to packing......
