completely subjective.

but from my own experience, it's really not a joy, to drive a C6. it's numb as hell and it's a gigantically wide car with an ill-damped suspension.

do i suppose that the C7 is going to be better, now that it's gained 200lbs? hmmm.....
The weight gain is a bummer, but Magna-ride is supposed to be the cat's meow.

You're talking about a 5+ year old used 911 at the $60k price point. That's hard to swallow IMO vs a new car w/warranty.
