Agonizing re new 997.2 pdk vs 997tt

Hello,

I've got the 911 jones again. I'm getting weary of my c63 daily driver. I drove a c2s pdk and loved the gearbox. My mind tells me that in about 3 weeks, I'll be wishing I'd just got six speed TT.

I was suprised at what the price of a well equiped, new C2s has creeped up too. I might just get a low mile 997tt instead.

What I'd like to know is any recent transaction prices on 997tt's you might be aware of.

Thanks,
Patrick

ps If anyone knows of a good low mile used 997tt for sale, please let me know.

go for a semi-used '07 997 Turbo. You won't regret it. There are good deals to be had out there even for '08's. good luck!

It's like chalk and cheese so I'd strongly advise driving _both_ . The TT is great for big power and most fun in a 6 speed variant. Otherwise the if you need an "auto" style box, honestly the Tip in the 997TT is blisteringly quick (actually faster than a 6 due to gearing).

The PDK transmission is great technology and a lot of fun (I've been using mine as a daily driver for a while) although a 6speed is still more work I find that to be the one I yearn for...
