Keep or sell, rarely trade as dealer dont give me what I think the car is worth and my cars are pristine. I know thats probably a cliche on the boards but I really do take brilliant care of my units (pert that was for you LOL).
In this case I dumped the 991 C4S... it was filler or a fluffer as some may say.

Rarely. The car(s) I was saddest to see go was the 997.1 and 997.2 Turbos.... thus my decision to jump back in as soon as I sourced a good one that fit my options list and color. The 991 C4S was close too- amazing car with excellent sound and handling. Ive had faster and quicker but that is not the end all with me. I have ADD of car ownership.

Do you ever regret putting wheels, suspension and tuning your cars...knowing you are voiding the warranty? I mean, what did that warranty ever do to you? Do you ever wonder what would happen if you tuned one of your cars and the air-conditioning stopped working...would that be covered? That's why I wouldnt tune my cars.

the price of replacement; if it came to that, is what scares me away from wanting CCB,
I'm not a track driver, not that one needs to be, but I'm guessing stopping power is much better compared.......I drove an Aston once with them.....but it wasn't long enough to tell...and it was at Disney
lol

The C4S is an amazing car---- I wouldnt look so much at the hp total but instead the power to weigh ratio and how the car performs at higher RPM's. For a car with that hp it pulled very strong and was great from a dig. The car's steering, handling, and exhaust note was incredible. I was sad to see it go but it was only going to be with me for a short period as planned from the start until I found the right turbo s at the right price. I would have no issue getting a C4S again. I ran a stock C63 and pulled it- wasnt sure if it had the PP or not but the PDK really creates efficient hp to the ground. The sound of the Porsche Sport Exhaust is excellent. Its a true leMans sounding roar with huge burbles and pops on down shifts.
The Turbo is in another league with its power, active aerodynamic front and rear spoilers, rear steering, porsche dynamic chassis control, and pdk software. There are so many good things about this car and it better be for the price paid LOL. Im so glad the made the exhaust on the Turbo good--- it sounds very much like the C4S which I was shocked to hear.

Thanks for your input Vic. I really need to try a Carrera or a Cayman so I can better understand the magic of those cars.

Dang, a flawless Turbo S you have there. Saw one for the first time around 2 month ago at a Chevron station--a white one. It's too bad both the owner and myself were in a hurry because I would love to check it out up close.
