Hey all, so wanted to get peoples thoughts on a few things.
I'm looking to buy a MANUAL 911 somepoint next year.
I'm pretty much set on 997.2 or 991 gen 1. Will all come down to budget - which has not yet been set.
I prefer the 991 purely from a design perspective... but it's going to be a balance between buying a low mileage 997.2 vs a high mileage 991. (Down to budget more than anything)
Questions:
1. Are all 997.2 the higher tax bracket? I know it's only it much the scheme of things but just against the idea of giving an extra 300 to the gov.
2. This maybe a potential forever car... saying that - which is likely to be the better long term purchase proposition from an expense / servicing perspective? Is the 997.2 engine a more reliable proposition over the 991.
3. Which is the more reliable car out of 997.2 vs 991.
4. I'm coming from M2, noticed the 997.2 is actually slower in performance terms... anyone prefer the M2 performance wise. Obviously I'm assuming handling is superior on 911.
5. Which sounds better 997.2 or 991.
6. It'll most likely be the base model, are the S versions a significantly better.
I won't be doing any track driving (maybe the odd one track day a year), car will be used primarily be fast European road tours.
