Loved the R8 I had it for a little over 2 years and needed a change. Wanted a turbo but can't do a pdk.

Interesting. I went from a 997 turbo to the 991 4S and love it. Also can't do PDK mine is an MT.

I went from 997 turbo to r8 v10 to the 991 c4s. Let's see how long this lasts ;)

Why did you get out of the V10? Was thinking of buying one for my GF.

I too was considering the r8, problem for me is the same as when I had my vantage, sucks but it's an image problem... It's funny, you drive a 70k vantage to work (used) and everyone looks down on you (especially come employee review/raise time) but you can go drive up in a new 911 for 140k and nobody thinks twice about it...

I too considered the R8 but felt that it was too flashy - that it just attracts too much attention. The Vantage was also a contender, but I was afraid of repair costs and getting in and out of it was a chore for me. And half the people out there think it's a Jaguar anyway. :rolleyes:

How was your time with the Vantage, Jonathan?

Oh, and welcome back Steven! Congrats on the almost-here new car with a proper transmission!

Did you find it fast enough? That's my only concern
