Also switched for cost, tho you cant beat reliability when properly serviced and maintained. Stuff like tires, and brakes just cost more. Not to metion motors and trannys are cast ultra thin. Money aside, I'd take a 911 over my 86 any day. The non turbo 996 motor just isnt a keeper over 100k...came to a point where it wasnt worth continuing to invest in a car I didnt want to keep long term. The 86, is a keeper.
next time I go another 911, it will have to be a turbo, and 997 turbos dont come cheap in good condition
I took my last one here
S-car-go tuning,(cool video) in cali, where they make them go faster, and fab some cool stuff for those cars
No, there is no substitute.
