Stick with the AMG? Or buy this...

[Mark-F]

For me only 2 porsches spring to mind to really want to own; GT2 and 993T. Last of the air cooled, makes one of the best noises ever and looks amazing.

keep the merc

Look what happened to the last bloke who nearly bought a 996t

Just make sure you actually post pics of the evora Ant .... LOL

Confused?

Harbinger !! Do a search , the imaginary evora purchase started with him looking at 996t's

Fwiw , id say go with whatever suits your personal needs and wants.

I am a porsche fan but the 996t has never grabbed me ,id rather have another gt3 , but a mk2 comfort spec

Merc AMG - f**king quick.
Porsche - f**king quick.

Merc - has a boot.
Porsche - no boot.

Merc - sounds like thunder.
Porsche - doesn't.

Other interesting comparisons are available.

 

[chriscummins7]

Tough one! List the pros and cons of each, and see which one you could realistically live with/prefer!

 

[Goodj]

AMG > All.

 

[cat171]

Keep the AMG, if you want a 911 turbo, get a 997.

 

[BigDaveRotary]

AMG

 

[Ant1]

So I managed to have a drive in one today, was a turbo model not the S I was looking at. Had 70k on the clock, owned by current owner for 6 years and has been maintained by dealer. So to make this short, I will not be changing, now I know why I sold my 996 C2 years ago. AMG stays for now.

 

[Poopensharten]

Why would that first one have needed a new engine? f**k. That.

 

[Munson]

Do you actually care what CS thinks of your choice?

 

[.Adam.]

I <3 Munson

 

[Ant1]

Not really as it's me that has to live with the choice, however some posters above gave me some good feedback. That's why it's a forum.... about cars....

 

[n2x]

997.

You have probably already decided what you are going to do and need confirmation on your choice so get the Porsche!

 

[BREMBO]

Fuk sake the guy is aloud to ask if he wants.

Glad to hear your keeping the AMG, I love this. Porches does very little for me, no road presence, too many. AMG screams proper petrol head

so what was the reason?

False.

Girls aloud IIRC, guy is allowed. :rasp:

 

[Ant1]

so what was the reason?

Car feels very dated to sit in, very cramped in front and rear. Front feels very light at speed, car is also to smooth when you boot it. No excitement would some it up nicely.

other small issues, can't fit rear facing child seat, can't deactivate front passenger airbags, and you can get a push chair in the space provided, all though it's a lot of space, not wide enough. Car for me now is all show and not much else.

 

[Martin.]

The interior of a 996 is absolutely dreadful. Yes you'll get people saying "oh but it's miles better than a Clio blah blah blah". Fact is, for the price tag it carries it's shocking.

I'd keep the AMG unless I was getting a 997. Even a 997S or 4S over a 996.

 

[jon_r]

I could never dream of owning your current car or a 996 Turbo, so i'd gladly take either. A friend of a friend however had a 996 T and only kept it for 6 months quoting the exact same thing you just said. He got bored of it and bought a 964.

 

[Ali]

Only 996 i like is the C4S.

I'd keep what you have or raid the back of the couch for another 20k and buy the 997T.

Err gt3 mk2 clubsport ???

 

[Cliotoby]

If you're serious and space isn't a real problem - IE you wont struggle getting your weekly shop in there, or a Christmas tree etc

Then Get the Porka.

996 a seriously cool car, sublime chassis and dat power! Your AMG looks well kept so Im sure the Porka would end up the same. yolo as they say... Can you afford the upleek with tyres, servicing and brakes?

 

[Poopensharten]

I'm going to go with yes, yes he can afford the up keep.

A search into his previous steeds would suggest so anyway Cliotoby

 

[McGherkin]

He's already decided he's not getting the Porsche anyway.

 

[...]

He's already decided he's not getting the Porsche anyway.

And he has made a wise choice

 

[McGherkin]

I agree. But then I am an AMG *****.

 

[cb10]

996 all day long mate. There fantastic cars.

Ah I did not know. Apologies.

 

[Scutch]

Ant, Ant, Ant.

It's an Evo or nothing. Come on, get with your program

Loike!

That old school, widebody project of yours was thuper.

The best collection of Evo's I've seen, TBH. Buy, sell. Buy, sell. Buy, sell. Every one of them was incredible.

 

[Ali]

Err gt3 mk2 clubsport ???

What about it?

 

[davo172]

If you can afford to run it. f**k yeah. I would.

THIS ^^^ do it !!!! No brainer IMO

If you dont you will always be wondering !

 

[...]

What about it?

A far better 911 in both looks handling and performance than a C4S

Horses for courses. I've not driven a GT3. Have you?

 

[...]

Driven both owned one ..... you dont have to worry about the seal issues on the gt3 lump compared to the 4s but early boxes were an issue hence the mk2 is a better buy , the weight and feel of the 4wd detracts from the whole thing on a 4s.

Best choice in my eyes is a comfort spec mk2 gt3 , clubsport only worth it for pub bragging and track use ,but tracking porkers is for the deep of pockets
Nowadays i think an aero kitted 997 c2s would suit me.

 

[Ali]

FairPlay. Unfortunately I don't have 80k for a track toy!
