thanks for the first hand commentary - i think a standard body is enough. Anyone who sees the airscoops knows what theyre dealing with - you dont need to shout too loud!!Previous poster said:Quote: Originally posted by Dave on 09 January 2007
Aerokits are OK but personally I just didn't like the front splitter. Speed bumps, slopes etc will certainly have a field day with the standard turbo lip let alone the aerokit. I couldn't get my car on my drive with the standard lip so I now have a C4S lip on it (Which is pretty scuffed)
The rear spoiler on the first car is indeed fixed and it does make the car look a little more aggressive. However I do love looking in the rear view mirror and watching the top part of the standard spoiler raise at 75 MPH

As for depreciation I bought with my heart not my head. At worst I would not expect to lose more than £18k over the next 3/4 years as long as I keep the mileage down. Mine was a 51 plate with 19000 miles from an OPC so I did pay a premium for it.
As for owning one, it is without a doubt the best car for me.I thought about the GT3 but I am not a trackday nut like many on here although I do intend to do a couple this year including the Ring. The car is my daily driver and I do need to get two kids in it from time to time. It is perfect for my needs.
And the power........... I think I am right in saying only two other standard Porsches are quicker than it in a straight line (to 100mph anyway) the 997 Turbo and the CGT. (That should provoke some response he he)
I have an E30 m3 for the track so thats not my major concern, otherwise it may have been a harder decision!
thanks
