This is the exact debate i keep having in my head... used 911 (likely 997.2) or a new M2. I like the idea of the 911 for the weekend and occasional track car, but I don't know how willing I am to beat on a 911 at the track, even though they are obviously more than capable of a few track days a year. I also feel like i'd be more hesitant to take it on long weekend trip because I'd be trying to keep mileage down.
The M2 is a good value I think and I wouldn't be hesitant to drive it and track it as much as my heart desired. For now, I'm on a waiting list for the M2. If the wait is too long or I change my mind, my $1000 deposit will be going towards my first 911 (pre-owned). I'm going to keep my f30 335i for a daily driver either way. I love BMWs and would like to add another one to my garage...I hope I get more clarity on my wait time next month (even though i'm not in a big hurry). |

My buddy when from a 135 to a 997 CS and has said that the thing works exactly the same on the first lap @ the track or the last one. One big advantage for sure.

I knew I had seen a video like that - I just couldn't place where it had originated from. Good stuff.

Why do you think I started at $54? That was one of the pros of stepping down to the M2. The 911s is the nicer, faster, better looking car. There's a reason that they cost 2x what the M2 does.

Not easy to find a manual CPO 911s with SPASM & sport chrono in Agate Gray or Sapphire Blue. I would have settled for one of the metallic reds too, but that was about it. |

Don't get me wrong I love Porsche as (motorsports) brand, but the '911' is its cashcow for decades...marketing....
Look at this. i'm not a roadster/vert fanboy, but Boxster Spyder: http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/f...6-10547130.htm Cheers Robin |

The 911 is an icon alright but not the mythical ultra reliable car some are making out.Every incarnation of 911 has had its problems and they're not small either and just because they cost more it doesn't necessarily mean top quality is guaranteed,just check out Rennlist ! Or any Porsche forum.IIRC Porsche are the most profitable car company on the planet and there's a reason for this.
Personally I'd go for the new, fully warranted M2 and the advantages that comes with buying new,not some potential problem car that somebody has off loaded.I've been there and wouldn't recommend it,but you may strike lucky...the luck of the draw and all that. |
