[QUOTE="CobraCarrera, post: 13837681, member: 39211"] I own a 964 (C2) currently and I have an 04 Cobra. I also have been in many 993's and 996's... Very incredible cars to own and the quality it superb... If and when the time comes for repair it "may " be a bit expensive. Well modding Cobra's and GT 500's aren't cheep eighter.. A warrantee is nice and find a cost effective and reputable shop for repairs and performance...There are plenty around as Porsche's are becoming more and more popular.. I have 4 reputable shops with excellent credentials just alone in my area. Join the PCA and you will be in with the local Porsche community and they have tons of listings for reputable repair when needed. I see that you own a GT 500 which is more of a muscle car with tons of torque where the Carrera's don't have as much but are fast in a different way....I was fortunate to keep both as my Carrera is fast for its timeframe but if I want brute force my Cobra outshines my Carrera trifold.... Getting the Carrera will be an improvement but it is a different animal...Hopefully you will appreciate the characteristic's it will provide...If you are looking to mod the car then mods will be expensive and there are not as many options for the non turbo Carrera's. The Porsche will be an improvement I feel but your GT500 shines in other ways as well.. Basically: Porsche: elegance, refinement, handling, fast, quality GT500: fast, torque, muscular, aggressive Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
