Think no more.... you do get a manual! They print it on beautiful paper...oh and you can also get an electronic one.

Can we now put you down for one?

You know how bad they are.

Speedsterr,
Wait for the 991.2 (C2 might go to 400HP and S to 450+)
or
Pick up a buy-back GT3.

I think GT3 has the best resale of all Porsche.

Any pics of your ZR1 you can share? And I thought they had 638 HP, so what is the 700 referring to?

I really have a hard time believing somebody who DD a ZR1 can think a Coxster S has plenty of power. All of the people who buy those cars are all horsepower nuts from my experience...

Perhaps the op should think it through a bit longer.

Well I thought I was one of them but it was my first performance car ever. And I decided the whole package is better than just a really big engine. It's fun but not practical for a DD.

I drove both the c2 and c2s and the c2s is quite a bit faster than the c2. I decided to just go ahead and get a lease on the c2s and if something better comes down the road or financial situation changes drastically I'll get a GT3 or turbo. Perhaps by then quite a few used ones come on the market and I can pick one of them up for a steal.
