I must agree with Frayz...I would be tempted by the Porsche but the Audi just seems to ooze so much more class. I have always liked the Audi's though!! Does the Porsche come with privacy blinds !!

GT2 is not for me, rear wheel drive and no traction control!

997 Turbo is just as quick, AND you live to see another day!

997 Turbo will be the faster point to point car in the UK

that gt2 is pig ugly

I'm with Nevetas on the 997 but cant see why you would want to jump to another porker from the RS4???

Stick with the RS4 mate you wont get a better car for the equal money

The 996 is an old car, and I've had 3. The interior is horrible, the technology is getting on abit, and the setup off the 997 is streets ahead.

Unless you can *really* drive, a 997 Turbo will be the quicker car, especially in the UK with it raining all the time. It has 4wd and stability control to keep you in check

Ihave never mentioned GT2's that was fromage! I don't want one of them.

I know I want a 997 Turbo, the advice I need from you guys is should I keep the RS4 while I wait or swap it for a Carrera S....

Erm how about you learn throttle control lol just dont nail it in the wet or mid corner simple

and im pretty sure a GT2 RS would be a hell of alot quicker on track and in a straight line, after all it has 612bhp and must weigh more than 200kg less

Dealer won't have any until the 08 model comes out (September 2007) UNLESS one of his customers cancells, then I get his slot.

Dealer reckons I will have one during 2007 though

So This time next year at the very latest.
