Default just ordered a rival...

Today I just ordered a 2014 911 carrera 4S coupe. yes I know its a lot more money and this will be my new everyday car. I absolutely love the C7 and wish everyone the best with it! hopefully one day down the road I will have one as well. I am still keeping my C6, which I still adore to this day. I wish everyone the best of luck with the C7, you all are getting a great car!

You are aware that you can buy a C7 with a set of luggage, aren't you?

My first response is to call you a trader and a poser and all that because you are coming on the Corvette forum and acting like somehow it makes sense to buy a $100 ++++ Porsche and as if we care. But the reality is that I'm just jealous. I love all cars, and would love to own one. Congratulations.

Joe, you are going straight to helll for that one!

Enjoy the car. I wouldn't mind having both a Porsche and Corvette in the garage as well.

You gave a classy good bye - enjoy your new car
Every car guy needs to drive a Porsche at least once.
I still prefer the C7 and the grunt of a big V8

You picked up one of the finest cars on the road. It can't be compared to the C7.

Congrats on a fantastic vehicle!

Congrats. I looked at a 991S and loved it, but it felt too refined. It is an amazing machine, no doubt.

I picked up a 2013 Viper myself. I think a C7 will be in my future once the high performance models hit the streets. Can't wait to see the C7 on the road

Great time to be a car guy! (Sans the price of gas)

I envy you and could buy one myself and have owned a lot of P-cars. It's just that I realized a year or two ago that I am looking at retirement in the not-too-distant future and I just can't justify that kind of outlay at this point in my life. I'll drive and love my C7. Enjoy the f*** out of that car dude!!

Congratulations, as the owner of 3 Porsches (all purchased at the Boutique shop and currently sitting in my son's room) I am sure your driving experience will far exceed mine. Never could quite reach the 911 but did own full sized Boxster S and Cayman S. Now waiting along side many others for my C7.

Enjoy and as previously posted-post some pics.

No reason to diss the guy. The Porsche is a great car. It may not be as good as the C7 but it is still a great car.

So you've worked hard enough to obtain a P-car AND a C6? And you expect us to wish you well? On this Forum?

Well, it looks like your dastardly plan has worked.


Good luck and enjoy. 2 very different and iconic rides.

I will have to check out the C6 section for the obligatory objective comparison (please give it a year or so in order to really pick up all the nuances).

nice...I myself ordered a 991 GT3, but would love to have the old gen viper (4) ACR! (and a Ford GT, 430 scud, superleggera and V12 vantage) Saw the nurburgring edition ACR on flea bay for $98K--i thought that was a great deal and surprised it was so low.
