Huh??????
And I'm trying to figure out which roads and conditions would be appropriate for 325 h.p., but less appropriate for 355 h.p.. Hmmmm, gonna have to ponder that.
I'm all about everybody getting what they want, for their own reasons. I would direct everyone back to folsomdoc's post, as it's the most honest and lucid and non-nonsense explanation for the non-S decision I've seen. It's nice to see somebody who's comfortable and confident in their decision, rather than insecurely taking aim at 997S owners. If anybody finds their car to be their mix of performance and value, then say it. Don't be afraid to say you didn't want to spend the dough, because I'm not afraid to say that I left things off my car when the price started intimidating me. It's all good.
For instance, I could say that I'm not ordering a Turbo because I wouldn't really "use" the horsepower, and that my S is almost as fast such that I wouldn't really notice, or use it, and that my "S" is more "pure", and blah blah blah.. But that would just be me making crap up to wallpaper over the real truth.... I'd love a Turbo, but my wife would kill me, and the check would hurt too much. And I do prefer RWD, and I prefer the cleaner styling. That's it, simple.
Furthermore, I don't want a GT3 because I'm not hardcore enough to live with it. Call me a wimp, I can take it!!
Everybody's got their mix of priorities. I just start gagging when the poetic waxing starts up, like some of the magazines, evoking shades of nuances of nonsense, when we're talking cars, not cuisine.
I believe that you're overreacting by saying I'm overreacting. I'll stop typing now, at the risk of overreacting to your overreaction to my purported overreacting....
