991 Turbo is just better in every way compared to 997.2 Turbo. Looks depend on your pov.

Handling on 991 Turbo - they are very sensitive to set up - any small out of balance deviation regardless of settings has an impact on the handling, certainly a lot more than on the 997.2 Turbo.

The 997.2 Turbo (s) is a great car make no mistake but the prices are imo crazy - this was not a limited run car in any way other than due to the financial crises when they came out that not many were ordered compared to the 997.1 Turbo. That should not make them significantly higher price - there are still thousands worldwide. There are only 3 manuals in the UK iirc. No one wanted manuals.

PDK in the 991 Turbo is also a significant step up as well.

Try both but if you can get a 991 Turbo for not much more than 997.2 Turbo then that is the car I would recommend.
wink

Then send to 9e, spend £13k plus vat and they’ll send you back a McLaren/Ferrari/Lambo killer biggrin
