I'm sports car less for the first time in a while...

Funny, I just replied to your post on Rennlist a few days ago! That car was so hot, Maybe a Zanardi for you?
Actually that would be a nice change if it ever happened, no more insurance payments, nothing to worry about 
Hey Mike yeah it attracted alot of interest and I received an offer that made it worth my while. For the first time I'm kinda at a loss as to what to get next. We are moving back to Canada in June so I'll look around and see what peaks my interest. I'm at a point in my life where I'm not really keen on having a Zanardi or Imola just sit there in the garage as I'd rather be driving my car all year round and enjoying it. I suppose that's why I've bought and sold so many cars over the past 6 years...
Likely candidates are:
1. 2009 Porsche 911 w/PDK
or
2. 02-05 NSX-T - but the issue with a NSX is that I can't drive one all year round
Hmmm....
The '98 993 C4S is a very desirable car...... last of the air-cooled models.
So far, so good for me...

Steve,
I love it! Duckbill spoiler? What happened to the M?

Are those stock wheels? They look huge.

Wow, that didn't take long.
The Lime Rock M3 was a good car, just not for me - German rice magnet. I'm too old for that crap. Live & learn.
This car has the factory Sport Design body which includes the ducktail & deeper front spoiler. Wheels are the OEM (but optional) 20" Carrera Classic. Suspension is
Sport PASM + has Sport Chrono - sits about 20MM lower.
It's the right color

Nice car man! Grown up car for sure....my buddy has the exact same car as his DD, and a 458 as his weekend....tough life
beautiful beautiful 911. the 991 is the best incarnation thus far. imo it looks lower and more sophisticated then ever.
Thanks everybody!
The new NSX will have a similar stance.....just couldn't wait 2 more years.

Agreed, plus there is nothing like a 911. That 911 PDK?
Also, Im sure you are already on Rennlist but if not, Its like Prime but for P-car fanatics. I love it. Werent you also working on an old school Audi?
Yes....but gone also (Silver '85 UR Coupe Quattro). Way more involved than I ever imagined- rust & more rust.
Had a taste of the DCT in the BMW Limerock - it was impressive & set the hook on dual clutch autos.
The PDK in this 991 is at another level though. Shifts very smooth at slow speeds in both manual & auto mode (the BMW was very jerky) + IMO is quicker overall & also programable, but w/o the hard slam that the BMW had in "M"
mode.
I follow Rennlist & it is a good Porsche resource.
Don't misunderstand, the M3 was a wonderful car - just not right for me at this stage of the game.

^ Beautiful car and I really like the house!
Steve - wonderful choice! The 991 is by far my favorite incarnation of the 911....unfortunately out of my budget - DOH!
I'm hunting for a 997.2 with PDK after riding in a mates here in Dubai. I was really impressed with how quickly the car accelerated and shifted...
