Hi there.
Been looking at these two vehicles. The Turbo S stage 1 with 26K and the 997 C2 PDK with similar miles. Both set the same price . . .
Both black, beautiful and very well maintained.
Some say get the newer money can buy but not sure ?!?

 

Have you had a chance to drive them both yet?

 

yes - with the dealer . . . Based on that, the turbo S for sure

 

I always swore the only 911 I would buy would be a Turbo, I think that's pretty good advice

 

I bought the Turbo, my buddy bought the 997 C2. I raped him on the highway his car is slow.

He's now trying to make his car look fancier, bumpers wing etc. you get all that from Porsche with the turbo. Just can't imagine paying same money for a slower car just cause its newer. There is no year of 911 that isn't cool so year is irrelevant.

 

He he - i must agree. Also cause this specific turbo s really has all the goodies; techart stage 1, techart wing, carbon brakes, 20" techart rims, K24 turbines etc.

 

This is an easy one Turbo S.

the C2 have issues with there IMS Bearing and other issues.

 

Turbo all the way! I always said if and when I got my next Porsche it would be a Turbo and an 02' 996. I love mine.

 

TURBO!!!! I was in the same boat, bought the Turbo and no regrets.... Now I'm thinking about selling my Viper bc it's just too damn slow for me now.

 

Agreed. Turbo. Done.

 

There is no turbo S in 2002...perhaps X50 option?

 

they mean the newer turbo. but the newest turbo you can buy.

 

yes sir you are right. It is a X50 option but it has the S badge thou !?!

 

Also, no PDK on any 997.1 cars right... so tiptronic? are they both autos?

I was in the same boat, and between early 997 IMS issues (if only I knew how many potential issues the mezger can have too) and the fact that the base cars seem comparatively anodyne, I went with the 996TT. I wanted a fun and characterful third car though. If you want a DD, the 997 will be a nicer place to be day to day, and is free of the oft maligned fried-egg plague. 997 C2S would be a harder choice, but I'd probably still go the same way.

 

Turbo S only available for 2005 MY. That car would have the K24 turbos with the X50 package. Someone stuck that S on the back.
