Worth it?

Hi. Have never posted on this forum before as i have a '02 TT, yet lurk alot. I was hoping y'all could give me your opinion. The turbo is about to come off lease, and while i would like a 997tt, i simply can't justify the purchase at this time. Thefore, i started looking into some modded 997s and came up with these 2: a) An 05 ruf r kompressor. I believe they call it the "red baron" and it was featured in excellence in 9/06. Asking price is 89k. 16k miles b) An 06 C4s, with the ruf supercharger. Price 100k. 5k miles. A, B, or neither? Thanks
A.

B.

I think both are overpriced. A looks better, B will be more fun. If your willing to spend 90-100k order a stripped GT3 for 106.

Well...Option A is definetely the best...you get a more exclusive and good looking car!
plus...is it RWD? if it is, I'd not even consider that Porsche/Ruf/Sportec C4S...

Oh...and Welcome!

I would take the option A. I personal think that look a lot better then 997tt, but love the 997tt power.
