BTW, I'm sure your GR car is faster than the black car that I test drove.

I test drove a 2009 C2S PDK back in '09 when it was brand new and I loved it.
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.

Good Bye 996
As of a few days ago I have left the 996 club. I got a great offer on my 02 baby and had to let her go. No IMS/RMS drama she was running like a champ. It was an awesome car in every way but all things come to an end, but it�s not all sad and gloom.
Hello 997
In its place is a shiny red 2009 C2S with PDK. Almost all the bells and whistles 30,900 miles and CPO till 2015. I LOVE THIS CAR. The way it looks, the way it drives, the fit and finish of the interior. The wide hips, instead of a baby got back reference I�ll go with a Shakira one, Hips don�t lie. I have bought my dream car and couldn�t be more happy.
Tim
Congrats Tim...enjoy the new ride!!!
I test drove a 2009 C2S PDK back in '09 when it was brand new and I loved it. It certainly pulled noticeably harder when accelerating than my 2000 C2.
BTW, I'm sure your GR car is faster than the black car that I test drove. We both know that GR cars are the fastest...
P.S. We need some pics. The new avatar is just a tease.
Oh I don't really see it - I actually prefer my interior over a regular 997. I've got full leather svanna with wood options and steering wheel stiching
I feel like I got a good deal, 65 plus they took care of me on my trade. I have to give a shout out to my dealer. I was originally looking at another car they wanted off the lot and were looking to make a deal on. He found an issue pop up noticing the hood had been resprayed (and not well) and the light wasn't installed perfect. He told me straight up i shouldn't buy it and after looking at it he was right. I'd be eyeing the red car for a while and we came to pretty good deal terms.
The car was meticulously keep and looks and feels brand new.
The 02 was a 6 speed with the 997 short shift installed. So far i'm loving the PDK, as a daily driver it makes the drive though town super chill. in normal mode it acts like a good auto trans, not hard shifting no crazy reving, sometimes a hair of a delay when shifting but not bad.
Put the car in sport plus and it's a different animal, faster rev's harder shifts, for me at least it helps me focus on putting the car where I want it. So I couldn't be happier with it.
Love your new car Tim congrats. In a year or two I will also most likely move into a 2009 997 or possibly a 996 turbo. Although I really love my 996 so not in any big hurry and may end up keeping it, only time will tell.
