I say get the 911 Turbo.

I wonder IF Porsche still offers the X51 option package? (its a hardware upgrade with a lot more HP on tap ~50 HP ?, but the option isn't cheap. ~$20K was an option back in the 993 days).

I think its called the aerokit option? Its visual stuff but alot of people say cars with that option are faster than the ones who dont have it.

Don't think a 0-60 in 2.8 sec. is terrible, and this all day long ...
How about that ?

The only thing terrible is the exhaust sound.

Porsche Exclusive - Powerkit...

Maybe. IDK for sure. But it looks like its a separate option from the aero pack. Porsche calls it: Powerkit (but there IS an option code, and on those older 993 models it was option X51 for the turbo cars. X50 for NA 911's.

I think you should ask about Porsche Exclusive program. That's the dept that handles these limited editions that no one knows about. They do some really cool mods - all in house at Porsche. Well... after production in Werk I.

http://blog.caranddriver.com/porsche...igger-intakes/

I see Porsche offered it for the NA 991's...

I ran a search on Google and found this... (but the link was dead) still the text did pop up... Just search for: porsche exclusive power kit 911 turbo
http://www.porsche.com/middle-east/#...911-carrera-s/

Quote:
The most recent accomplishment is the new Carrera S Powerkit, which is now available for the 911 Carrera S models (Type 991). In plain figures, we have managed to increase power output from 294 kW (400 hp) to 316 kW (430 hp) and improve acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h by 0.1 ...

Only sound makes cars not faster...
I don't see any other car today on the market launching all day long without overheating or failing, but for the Turbo-S it seems no problem !
The Turbo-S leaves most real supercars in the dust !
On wet roads it's even stronger with the AWD .
I was lucky to be a passenger in one on a rainy day , and thought that day, I will die..
Personally, I have only respect for it !

so funny cause I saw this guy posting about different cars he had and asked for pics since it sounded like an awesome line up of cars but he went silent.

Either way I would buy a 911 turbo. I enjoyed driving one.

Unless you are in it to attempt to impress other people, I'd buy the M3 or M4. It's all the performance you probably ever need and a lot more practical as a daily driver. Let your friends spend their money on exotic cars. Put the extra money in the bank for a rainy day

Thanks Mom! We appreciate your financial planning advice.

I tried the M3 route. Regretted it almost instantly. DCT was terrible.

The OP asked for advice and I gave him mine. But if you want to thank me then okay by me. Hope I didn't hit a nerve.

FYI, the financial planning advice was a joke. The OP lives in Saudi Arabia. I was suggesting he save the extra money for a rainy day. Some of my replies to posts are meant to be humorous. Sometimes, as in this case, it fell short. Possibly the OP got it. Hope so.

Given your location, I promise no rainy day jokes for you. Hope your mood clears up. Get in that beautiful 911 and go find some twisties.

1-Open your pic with paint .
2-Go to change format .
3-Make your choise with precentage or pixels and edit (make it smaller)
4-Store it.
5-Post your pic on Bimmerpost with the clip.
Amen !

I was passenger in a Turbo-S and it blew me away...Love the never ending power !

Nice car.

What I do is take the picture, email it to myself to compress it, save it, screenshot it, then crop it and it's good to go. Annoying and not the most convenient method I'm sure, but it works if you don't care to post many pics.
