Hello all
Around 3 years ago I sold my 997.1 C2 cabriolet and bought an Aston Martin V8 Vantage roadster. It was a beautiful car and the interior was a lovely place to be. The sound of the V8 in tunnels was magnificent. But after the 911, it was just like driving a big clumsy lorry especially with the dreadful sportshift gearbox. It was sold wihin 18 months.
I have been lurking around on this forum since then and based on what I read I decided that the best replacement would be a gen 2 car with PDK. After more than a year without a sporstcar and a sometimes frustrating search I finally found this one:
It is a 997.2 C2S with PDK, sports chrono and the paddle shift steering wheel. I need to do something about the exhaust as it is very quiet (particularly after the Vantage) but other than that I am over the moon with it. It arrived only a couple of days before the beast from the east so it has only been out a couple of times. We are now looking forward to summer and maybe a couple of trips down through France.
In the meantime I will be following the posts on Gundo vs PSE vs others with interest.
