I was with you until you wrote this...

It never ends, silly wabbit. You just think it does - until you get there.

I felt better in the Ferrari. So low, like I was in a go kart

The 991 Carrera 2 S has posted wonderful times so far. I can only imagine that the Turbo/Turbo S/GT3/GT2 will net even better times. Great performance, but then we are comparing a brand new car to one a few years old.

If we are going to compare equals - we should list the 458 vs 991.

Lol,,, I don't think so,,,

This is kind of pointless, no two dynos are the same. My old e39 M5 dynoed down 311whp on a Mustang Dyno, and 358 on another dyno two weeks later, temp, humidity, and altitude were all almost identical.

So what I'm saying is, you cant base things off dyno numbers alone. If a 360 has 395bhp, it should realistically have somewhere around 335-350whp.

Do 430 and 599 have known issues? For example: 2005 Porsche 997.1 might have IMS issue..etc
Which year production would you recommend to buy for these 2 models? or any?

What about 991SCab vs 430 or California ?

Out of curiosity - how much is the 458spider and how much is the deposit? 1 year wait everywhere?

Crazy for how much these cars sell on DuPont

I've put 100k cash down. 3year financing, with the options I took + tax it came out to 380K. I waited 7 month to get it
