Chris all those storage pics and not one with the SCAR!!!

To the OP, I DD a GT2RS every day (on the web) and love it.

In reality, I think if you want it enough, you can find a way to make the clubs fit. So I say do it!

 

how smokin'? 3-pedal cars only btw.

 

Hah, if you are short enough to fit comfortably in a Cayman. Not the case for us studs who are too tall. I was so in love with that car when it first came out. Sorry Charlie...

 

I have bought from both Chris (Stoppie) and Isringhausen (Mercedes) and would not hesitate to recommend either one.

I have a 2007 997C2S that I bought new from Chris three years ago this week. It now has just over 66k miles on it and is doing just fine. Obviously I drive it daily, all year round. I also maintain it very well.

I will be selling it sometime in the next couple of months - if someone is seriously interested I'd sell it today. The reason is divorce, moving to a condo, poor parking and no place to wash and care for it. Otherwise I'd keep it for at least another 100k miles.

 

Mike, so glad to see you here. Great community!

Got your email, will put my brain cap on for ya and give you a shout Monday,

Cheers my friend.

 

Pros:
lighter car = more fun to drive. u can really toss the 911 around. not the M5.
manual = more fun to drive. i loved my SMG M5. i actually prefer the SMG for daily though.

Cons:
interior is small. storage is small. i tend to like more room for my DD doesn't mean i will use the room.
manual is fun but it'll keep u busy all the time. it's a shame to say but when i commute on daily bases the car is my mobile office - checking email, checking stock, text, making calls u name it. i don't think u want to do that in 911. actually that takes the ''fun'' away.
the ride quality on the 997 is actually not that great. compare to M5 of course. after a long day of work i think i would prefer in the M5 than the 997. just saying. btw, all the 911s i've had, they make quite a bit of rattling noises. would hate that in my DD.

bottom line, i don't think i want to daily the 997 just for the above reason, but that's just me though. 997 is a everyday sports car but i don't want to DD it. i would get a beater truck as DD & get the 997 as semi-DD & weekend fun.

 

I don't know about your business, but when I sold high-end home a/v systems pulling up to a clients home in a nice car is a bonus, pulling up in a sports car like a 911 was not. I have had a few co-workers with 911's and one with an NSX who all either bought a cheap daily drivers and kept the sports car or sold the sports car and bought something like the M5 that has performance yet is still understated.

 

agree w/ that - like it or not, despite similar pricing, the average person thinks: m5 says "success", porsche says "ostentatious". if you're driving me around trying to sell houses in a porsche, i'll grind you more on the price.
