I think you're spot on, other than:

We don't know much about the GTR. I wouldn't put it there. I'd say a ZO6, or a 997S with a supercharger (which can be done in that price range). Also, I'd also look at a 599 GTB. This is in the GT2 price range used or the CGT price range new, but that's a huge spread. I think I would really like to have a 599. Like... a lot.

I think you have great taste though, but it's hard not to put a 911 in every category possible. Know what I mean?

599 is pure hotness. How many of you would pick a Z06 over a C2S? And why?

I think it makes a notable difference. I am planning on getting my car dynoed soon, so I will post the results. I do not have a stock dyno though...

I've seen a few dynos of stock 997Ss and they all are 300-308HP. Mine did 308.2.

As far as a Z06 over the 997S, I wouldn't. But I was assuming he might be talking about for track times only. Don't know why I assumed that. I'd so much rather have a 997S, even stock, than a Z06. But those pushrod cars make some quick lap times stock.
