Well just handed the b7 over to its new owner a good deal was done all round so I'm happy. Question is obviously this, where do I go now? An rs3 an r8 or even a gtr? HELP

It was just the right time for the car to go Tim, epic car had a great time plus I know the new owner will drive it the way it's meant to be driven

Fair enough. I guess nobody's done more than you to a B7.
Did it pass to anyone on here?

I guess the next logical step would be either a 6 or 8 ?

You going to reveal where it went Danny? Has it stayed up here or headed South?

997 Turbo S if I were you, without a doubt.

0-60 in 2.7 Seconds
1/4 Mile in 10.8 Seconds

That was standard too, not tuned, as tested by Car & Driver. Once you've tuned it, holy feck! :bowdown:

My mate has a GTR tuned by Lichfield, very nice car, but after driving a 911 GT3 on a track day last week, that would be my choice.

Not quite as quick as the GTR but a more rewarding experience. You could pick one up for the price you sold the RS4.

I might be tempted to sell my Noble M400, standard car with 425 bhp was tested 0-60 3.2 and 0-100 7.8. Mines lightly modded to 476bhp, it makes my RS4 seem like a big slug. Easily tuned to big numbers, mates got one with 611bhp, it will destroy virtually anything you will ever meet on the road, straight line and corners. Remember, those cars only weigh just over a ton. Needless to say, its a very exciting and involving car to drive,- and they don't depreciate in value like most others! Had it almost 2 years now but kinda distantly fancying a GT3RS though realistically I'd have to sell both my cars to be able to afford one. Along with the GT2, probably the only porkers I'd consider.

Depends what you want from the car. Balls out speed, power to weight related car (two seater), an all rounder (RS6) etc etc..

GT3 RS is an epic machine and we get a few in here....amazing to drive but not sure if you would get tired of tha lack of torque

Turbo/GT2 however would resolve that problem quite comfortably
:biggrin3:

As an aside it's peculiar when people talk about Porsches they always speak of GT3RS and GT2 but not GT2RS. It was supposed to be the ultimate incarnaton?

M400 is a good shout, having been fortunate to ride in one they are good cars.
