i was considering the c2s, but just got the book from the dealer. They are going to be identical in shape. Now, i am thinking should i get the cheaper 911 and use the 10k difference for mods of my taste or should i straight up just get a better out of the box car.
I have yet to drive either one, so my opinion is very limited.

thanks!

 

I am contemplating the same thing. I decided on the S because it has a totally new engine compared to the normal c2. And it comes with quad exhaust, while I believe the c2 comes with two oval duals. Just my .02

 

The 997 Carrera S still uses the M96 engine with some modifications--no where near a totally new engine.

 

my 2 cents.
Yes the S quad exhaust is nice.
I am sure on the c2 there will be plenty of aftermarket quad exhaust available soon.

The base price of the cars are about 10k.
Most likely one would be able to get off about 5k off on the C2 but very little if any on the c2s.

The price difference becomes about 15k. I rather spend that 15k to get some HREs, exhaust and custom carbon fiber intake.

I am not a race car driver, so the additonal 30 hp and the .2 sec to the 0-60 will not be something that would make much of a difference in a daily driving.

The 911 is plenty fast and great looking.

 

If I had to hazzard a guess, I would say that the dealers will be so loaded with inventory in the next 60 days, that even both models of the 997 will be discounted equally.

 

i like discount. :-)
I am actually gonna pull the plug on jan/feb.
(the slowest car selling mohts.).
