That's not helpful - I guess I should go too then?

TT, a 996TT is a great car if you are at all interesting in tuning. There are loads of possibilities with this car now and the relatively cheap purchase cost makes it an incredible point to point car.

The TT will be a faster car than the C2S, but I'm a big fan of the C2S - simply because the engine is a peach, it's very powerful and as a complete car, you can't go far wrong. Although that particular car does indeed look good, beware of the fact that it's wearing a GT3 kit, which many see as a fake GT3.

It comes down to what you want to use it for. For me, I would probably go for the C2S. It's N/A, it's plenty fast enough and is a current model (although there are facelifts planned for 2009 with a whole bunch of upgrades, such as increased power and better creature comforts).

The TT is unbeatable A to B. There is very little out there that is faster. But I think it's looking a little old now and I never was a big fan of the fried egg headlights. I think the 997 shape is a delicious design and makes massive changes from the 996. The 997 is also better ergonomically with modernised dash-design and better build quality overall.

If you track cars much, the TT off the shelf isn't a great car. The N/A C2S would be much better. Please, for the love of god avoid Tiptronic if you're even remotely a car enthusiast. It's an utterly dull trasmission and will not inject any enthusiasm into your soul.

Here's a great car:
Janusz Performance : Black/Black/Black 997S OPC Warranty

Obviously don't know much about it but it's black/black, has loads of good spec.

Also, test drive the different S models as some come with the sports suspension and also the PASM, some combo's of which can make the car handle a bit too harsh.
