My 07 C2 manual is going fine at 23,000km but I'm wondering if I should upgrade. Have others made this move? Happy with the result? I'd want a manual again, so it is really down to the engine and other upgrades.

Unless you have a lot of money burning a whole in your pocket, I would keep the car you have now.
23,000km is nothing, keep it at least 4 years to get maximum usage and value out of your car.

how much money do you want to pay for an additional 20hp? if you upgrade you'll surely be in the lurch for at least 30K, which comes out to about 1.5K per bhp. If that were my money i'd be more likely to go out and buy a BMW 135 or a used 335 for the difference and have another little rocket to poot around in rather than spend the money on something with negligible difference.
Looks like not too many here have made the switch yet - I thought there would be a few who have upgraded, given that the early 997s are getting long in the tooth by now.
No real interest in a GT3 - I prefer the C2S for all round practicality and looks.
Anyway, since I'll probably be keeping it, here's my car....
It will cost you 40 grand to make the move into a 2010 car . By then yoir car will have 27K miles and be near the 30K mile service . That's when the move woild be better . The cars are so similar though .. how about a used Turbo?

Love the plate number!
I had a few 666 plates in my days.

Thats where I'll be in about 18-24 months......an '07 Turbo for the mid $60's.
30K mile service costs a few bucks and places the 07 car 20K mi away from his end of warranty . Plus routine wear service like brakes, tires , etc can start to add on to a car taht he is ready to exit now (from his post). If he has the itch to buy that would be a good time to ditch his current car . It has enough miles and warranty left to attract a buyer yet enough wear on the car to still get out without sinking too much more money into it.
