[catsey]

Hi have a 996GT2 and 500SC Griff . Looking for a stable mate that I can use more daily fancy a 997 or 991 Turbo S but leaning to Drivers car 997Turbo manual with a bit of 911E tuning anyone out there has a Turbo 997 manual with 911E tuning!!
GT2 want to keep for summer runs out around 2k a year and similar for TVR.
Importing in 2 yrs time a Shelby 350GTR for trips to Europe.

I think we'll need some pics to be sure

I'd vote 997 turbo manual. I'd say they're likely to get more expensive soon.

Hey....hope you're keeping well?

997Turbo a great car but you may just get a little bored with it quite quickly. In many ways I preferred the 996Turbo - it was a little more edgy. If I were you I'd go 997GT3 - a little more expensive but a lot more involving.

Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but how about just an über boring FWD snotter? The logic being that driving that dross around will make you smile even more come the weekend time, or even just enjoy an evening cruise? With the added benefit of also not give AF parking it at the shops...

Regards

Yes. 997 Turbo. IMIA had one 9e28 I think. 997 like 996 might need a bit of money thrown in for general reliability and peace of mind. But to be honest a 991 turbo would be a better purchase in insight. More sorted from the get go. Easier/cheaper to get silly power (esmotor es850 kit), newer, nicer suspension, pdk is still very fun and so much more comfortable for daily use.
I would end up with a 997 gt3 lol

997.2 GT3 was I think a sweet spot. Certainly no issue in putting 10K a year on one but the value would suffer.

As a daily driver I'd suggest a 991.1 GTS. Fantastic package with a cracking motor. For me it was much more fun to drive than a 997 Turbo.
