I must say the price tag loaded is way more than I would pay for a regular Carrera S ($130K  ) but with 0-60 and quarter mile time .1 second off from a 996 turbo that commendable for a NA 3.8 motor. Any way overall very nice vehicle and can't wait for the 991 turbo.
I then decided to take a look at the Mercedes C63 AMG and I think Mercedes could have done a much better job of the design especially the rear, quarter panel back it's just not aggressive at all for an AMG only thing I liked about the vehicle was the motor but that alone did not win me over. Overall very bland interior and exterior styling. |
I've never been a big fan of the 911 look but I, too, like the new design. I'm still pretty shocked at the sticker price jump in a reasonably optioned 911.
