C43

I didn't, I drove them both last week. The C43 is funner, but top down on a nice day is nice too.

You definitely have a illness. There is probably a cure for that.

Nice cars.

Fellow Porsche fanatic here. I understand your dilemma. In the summer my C43 is getting a lot of wins over my 47 year old non-air conditioned 911. Still enjoy both in their proper environment.
