He's got a Turbo S, and I have been looking at C2S. There's a big difference. The Turbo S is a fantastic product that beats almost anything at the same price point.
Cars like the C2S while they represent outstanding chassis development, they are cynical under-powered built-to-a-budget cars, which make the volume so guys like Avlnch can buy a car worthy of the Porsche badge. Yes they are great track cars compared to the M5 but that's saying jack because the M5 is a luxury sedan and the 911 is a sports car. But if you compare the 911 C2S to other sports cars, like the upcoming Z06 with Z07 package - that will be $30k less than a C2S and will totally annihilate a C2S on any race track.
Quite frankly I would always feel Porsche is short changing me unless the base 911 had the 3.8 C2S engine, and the C2S had a 450hp turbo charged engine with enough power to handily crush a Stingray.
