Here's the deal: I put out a poll asking what I should get to replace my S on SoCalEvo.net. The options are: 1) ride out the lease on my S and get an Infiniti GT-R in '08; 2) trade in the S for an Evo IX MR (I had an Evo VIII and loved it); or 3) trade in the S for a 997 Carrera S.

The discussion there is about me becoming a prick if I get the 911, the hassle of cops w/the Evo or the Porsche, etc. Any input?

I am looking at Sept. or so if I do the Evo, April '06 if I do the 911 and early '08 if I do the GT-R. The 911 and GT-R (based on current info) will be close enough in cost/month. The Evo is obviously much cheaper (and I mean that in every way), but still so fun to drive.

The final option is to just keep the S and buy a second sedan-type car and pay off the S.

But...but Chris your a prick already?! JK!!!! I say forget the Evo because you had it already. The GTR ehh its ok the Porsche ehh ok too, save some more cash ride the lease on the S and put a gangster down payment on a 360 or good used SL55. There are alot of cars out there bro and I know you know it. My 0.02

Kind regards,

hard call Chris.. if you want speed for cheap, I'd go EVO.. you can mod the crap outta that car and make it a little fire breathing beast...

911 would be an awesome way to go.... provided you don't pay for maintenance...

gt-r.. hrm.. I dunno.. I'm a fan of the r34.. hard for me to go for the new one yet..

A used F355 might be within reach, but the maintenance will kill me. Ditto for the new Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

I did my homework and the Carrera S is about my realistic limit. I could probably get an SL55, but I am not middle-aged nor having a crisis yet... LOL

What the hell is with you guys getting rid of your S2Ks?

I had a sick modded Evo before... it was totaled.

As for the Porsche maintenance, it's double what the Evo was, about on par as my dad's LS400 was. Steep, but not too bad.

The next GT-R is supposed to have a Cosworth-engineered 3.7L twin-turbo V6 with 450 horses, suspension tuning by Lotus, AWD, etc. I just don't know what it'll look like. I've seen all the prototypes and concepts, but no one knows what the final product will look like. A LOT hinges on that.

Its because these cars "Eat alot of gas, are ugly and slow and the main thing is taht it looks like a f***ing Miata man!" supernag LOL. My reason is career move in the near future and more room. I want another S in the later future though for sure!!!!!

Kind regards,

Considering you've already had an EVO, why not wait a little bit and mix it up a bit and go for the 997 S. Should give you plenty of time to enjoy the car till the GTR comes out. Personally, I wouldn't make a latteral move to another EVO (even if it's the MR) unless you really prefer it that much more than the Porsche and can use the extra $.

Regardless of what car you drive, there will always be people who are jealous and will classify you based on what you drive so if that means you're a prick...then so be it. Human nature sad to say.
