Post Decision time

So my 2012 audi b8 S4 APR stage 2+ was in a little bit of an accident over spring break and the damages seem like the car will never be the same. I have been told by several friends and family that a car with front end damage like that will never drive the same. My family garage is currenty a 2012 997 911 carrera Turbo S & 2012 Cayenne Turbo. My dad and I are part of several Porsche Clubs all around NY. I'm only 18 but have been around racing and autocross all my life. The 2013 991 911 Carrera 4s is really what my dad and I like the most right now and it seems like the best all around porsche available. I'm trying to get to know the competition around the C4s, what other cars do the C4s compare to?

Check out the evo article comparing the audi r8 with v10 against the c4s with power kit. In that same thread Chuck posted a link comparing the two cars with out v10 and power kit. I believe the reviewer is auto express

I also had a "worked" B-8 that I purchased brand new.

Simply put: there is no comparison when it comes to my new C2S. It's an entirely different world.

Same for me. Also had an APR Stage 2 B8 S4. Loved the Audi but indeed another world (league?) when compared to a 991.
Drive one is the best advice I can give.

Edit: sorry, I so miss posting pics of my Audi!!!

Perhaps, but I'm sure you won't find too many former 991 owners over there.

Haha, true. Now when the next gen R8 comes out, we'll be jumping ship and then back again I'm sure.

Yup, it's VAG's master plan - get me jumping back and forth between 911's and the R8 until I'm broke!
