A 991S with any options whatsoever is going to run you $105-110K.....while it is indeed a fantastic car.....it needs a body kit to get rid of the droopy ass end and that is going to add even more on to the $105K+ price tag. Sorry, but I ain't shelling out $40K more than a brand new M3 for it. Porsche has lost their fcuking mind on the base price of these cars.
On top of that, if ANYBODY thinks that the electric steering of a 991 provides better feedback/feel than a 997 versioned 911 or an E9X M3 they have lost their mind as well. They are purely blinded the Porsche badge. I, along with countless other non Porsche nutswingers, will tell you the new electric steering sucks donkey balls. And yes, even king Porsche nutswinger Chris Harris is not fond of the e steering. Go pick up a copy of "Excellence" magazie if you doubt me. Get off the Porsche nutsack. BTW - I own a Porsche currently so this is not coming from a Porsche hater, BMW fanboi, etc. Last edited by alms211; 08-26-2012 at 07:52 PM.. |

That said, I have never had as much fun doing anything in any car, at any time, than I did driving my RS4 with 4 snow tires in a foot of fresh powder. Not me, but you get the idea:

To my knowledge there was no 997 GT3 made in 2005, it debuted in 2006. Maybe you mean 996 GT3?

Other RS4 guys are going for methanol injection, but the problem is that with the methanol injection, the intake ports and valves get injected at WOT. Some company in the Audi forum is trying to change that. It's currently in R&D in which they plan to inject the methanol not just at WOT, but AT ANY GIVEN TIME purely for valve cleaning purposes. This process will "bathe" the intake ports and valves with fuel and cleans it in the process, just like a port injected n/a vehicle. That hopefully should be the solution to the carbon build-up problem.

he is correct the new 997s came out in 2006 but that years gt3 was still based on the 996. similar to what is occuring now with the 991 and the gt3 still being a 997.

Haven't owned or driven a GTR so I can't really make a statement on that. EDIT: I still would like to get a 997.2 GT3 at some point!

I built a 991s last night on their site and stayed under 100. Just paid for paint and sports seats.

Thanks for your expert input. How much do you think this 2005 996 GT3 is worth if it's got 10k miles and is in very good condition. I have ridden in it and it is like a go-kart. The engine characteristics is very much like the S65 but much louder partly due to absence of sound insulation. What a sexy car!

There is a cobalt blue gt3 up here I have looked at. Its a 2005 with 25000 miles I believe. Its priced at 64 which I think is a little high.

If the new 991 CS starts at $96,400, the 991 C4S will start close to or even at $100K for sure. Budget is not there for another brand new car, so I have to have to pass on brand new vehicle. This is not a $40K vehicle were talking about here. This is a vehicle that is over $100K after taxes and licensing. Hmm speaking of C4S, a used 997 C4S might do. I really wanted an AWD vehicle with 4 doors. We'll see.
Anyways, my budget is around $40-$45k for a used RS4. Don't like a brand new EVO X or STi since they have that boy-racer look. I also don't like the attention the EVO X and sti gets in the freeway. I rode in my friends EVO X on the way to L.A. a few months back and we have encountered 5 cars (I really counted) that tried to race us. All my friend has aesthetically are a lip, lowered, and some knock off rims. He has a downpipe, exhaust, and a tune under the hood. It's really sickening coz these guys pull to the side, lower their windows, give us that "I wanna race you" kind of look and go for it. One of them even had to tailgate to get attention for a race. Take note, his EVO did not have the spoiler, but still guys tried to race us. I really wanted to get an AWD vehicle that suits my age, is good for the snow, European, and fun to drive.

I really wanted a sedan, but the C2S is something to reconsider.

In my opinion there is nothing to suggest that the turbo engine in the next M3 will be more outstanding than the current NA engine, which is going to lead to a lot of disappointment on the part of die-hard M buyers. What is the big deal with a I-6 that can make 450 HP? There are a number of cars that far exceed that already. Everyone knows that it take only a few grand and you can make 450-500 hp with the N54 engine. The prospect of spending 75-80k (likely will be more) on a new M3, only to have you ass handed to you by another car that cost the same or less, is not appealing at all.
