Good luck with what ever you decide  :happy2:

Why not just keep the S2000 and sprinkle some tasty performance parts onto it?

Or stretch your budget and get the 911  :laugh:

Already has good suspension and brakes .... and don’t really want to supercharge it.

I do have the money for a nice 997 but I have to be realistic...I  run a small business, have a young family , need to keep a sum of money in the bank as it’s up to me to care for them  :ashamed:

Suppose I could work 4 days a week instead of 3 and that would pay for the porker  :laugh:

Supercharge?  Nah, gash.  Turbo it  :mad:  As I've said before, it's what I would do with an S2000, but I'm probably a bit more hardcore than most when it comes to modifying halo models  :smiley:   Honda do crate engines from the current Civic Type R turbo.  £4K.  320hp or what ever it is, tons of torque, tons of revs, off the shelf engine mounts.  I'd be all over that.  Way more interesting than something you can buy from a forecourt, imo.

You are in an enviable position my friend, financially, so just take your time and buy what's right for you  :happy2:

However.....911s, they are just something else.  If sacrifices were to be made, sod the kids and family, hobbies come first right?  :grin:

Lol, that is very much a VW & Audi thing....and now that VW own Porsche.....everything is an option!   I remember the Audis my Dad had in the 80s, even the a radio/tape player was an option otherwise you just got a blanking panel  :grin:  And who can forget Audi removing one of the tailpipes from the 150/180hp Audi TTs!  A big red flag you'd cheaped out :grin:  F'ckin Germans and their pay to play class system!!

Kind of ironic when you think about it.  Germany's heavy industry was utterly demolished during WW2, so they're getting us back by selling us overpriced cars  :grin:   

And Japan wiped out Detroit with cheap cars!   To win at cars, first you must lose a war  :happy2:

Anyway, nice car mate  :innocent:
