I've been following the 997 section on here for a while as I'll be spending my £30-35k on a C2S in August when I get back from deployment. I'm really concerned about the 997 engine issues I keep reading about, namely bigfish and brillo who I really feel for right now. I can't imagine how it must feel to spend that amount of hard earned money only to see it go up in smoke.
I'm really trying to convince myself here that the 997 engine is essentially solid and these issues are a small representation of the ownership out there. I'm pretty sure I'll own one of these cars later on this year as its my dream car and the prices are in my league right now. There is nothing else out there I want to own as I'm currently selling my second Nissan 350Z.
I'm no stranger to cars with dodgy reputations as I seem to remember my old Clio Williams and V5 Impreza STI Type-R both came with these issues but I had no problems with either.
I guess what I'm asking for is that all C2S owners tell me how awesome their car is to raise the doom and gloom surrounding these engines!!
Cheers,
Craig.
