This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Search function!! Not trying to be unhelpful, but this sort of topic keeps coming up and has been discussed in depth previously - quite recently actually. >> Edited by argonaut on Wednesday 25th June 23:23

POST 2Original post

Ive had 3 911's Now on a 996 c2. for 3 years. Never had a single problem. no service has cost more than £450. most £280. Ive done 20+ track days in it and it always performs brilliantly. then is a joy to drive home. Whats interesting is that although its "only" got 300hp, I have found that on a track it will swallow virtually any TVR. Ive seen so many TVRs on track and I am always amazed that despite their high power to weight ratios, they are not as quick as 911s round circuits. BTW just did a 1500 mile roind trip to switzerland via france/germany. Also did the 3 passes in the Bernese oberland. Wouldnt have wanted to be in anything else (except a turbo). GEt one.

POST 3Original post

Would think that Cerbie vs GT3 is fairer & more valid comparison on the 'rawness' & sporting feel, but probabally not if you need the rear seats

POST 4Original post

I guess depends what you want to use it for. Summer days in the kent countryside with your biggles hat on, i'd go the TVR. Track days and motorway miles, 996 everytime.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

and yes i'm going to post in both forums to draw my own conclusions! I previously owned a Cerbera 4.5 and it was great, only pain being the small service intervals and the few times it had to go into the dealer for things between services. that cost around 2.5k to run in maintenance, i expect the porsche to be cheaper to run but i need you guys to make me see the light.
