Default Porche 911 Carrera 4S or Turbo ??


i ask myself this question all the time and my opinion seems to change constantly.....

4S is AWD, but the turbo is just soo damn tempting......

There isn't an AWD turbo 911 at this time. You have to spend $115,000+ for a Cayenne to get that combo. Fast, but not really the same.

I voted 4S because I'm dying to drive one and because it goes plenty fast. There just aren't that many places that you can run a car hard top speed wise, so I would like to see what the AWD handles like with all that power and tech packed inside.

Well do you want a 320 hp n/a v8 or a 496 hp twin turbo. I would definetly go with the turbo over the 4s. Im sure the handling is still very incredible.

the 4S is a 6 and it has 355hp. The hp figures on the new turbo are not out yet.

While I voted for the 4S, if I won the Powerball I would have a 2006 Ruf Turbo as well.

edit - Yeah - what he said ^^^^^^^^

New twin turbo 911 has 473hp AND AWD (according to the C&D on my lap). I would take the turbo over carrera anyday.
