Certainly not enough background to get valid answers.
- What are your purchase goals? How will you use the vehicle?
- What mods are in each car, which are more important to you? Do you want a stock car or modded?
- What is the history of each car? Is one more 'well documented' than another?
- What maintenance has been done on each? (has one already sorted out the normal problems?)
etc...
Mileage would not concern me with any of the cars listed.
Do you want a Turbo or C2? 2 totally different animals.

Yeah, not enough info. I'd write off the C2 but that's me (well most of us probably). What are the car's colors, options, are any of them X50s, damage history, condition of the tires, stock or aftermarket wheels, paint work, yadda yadda yadda.

The question is, which one do you like the best?

Can't have that much fun with any other car for the price/reliability.

I understand that they are totally dfferent animals, so I was hoping to receive some feedback from those who have driven both. My son has informed me that this will be the only car that I am allowed to pick him up from school in All the cars are blue and the mods don't concern me too much as I will be making the car my own. They all have great documentation with no accidents, etc.

Must be why I did not receive any comments from the 997 forum

So $50K is too much

I have driven a 997 and loved it, but it did not give me the launch that I like to feel.
