Wow! major congrats. Why hold back with the aero kit if you chose that color? What made you choose a C2S over a GT3 finally? You never got a ride in a GT3?
couldn't find the "right" GT3 - either total track set up (does not apply); or wrong color; decision between 996 and 997, etc.
I just love the mexico blue, so that was a good selling point, as well as this example being like "new"; "S" was extra bonus/happy to have 3.8L; so, I'll deal with the aero kit and side graphics. plus it was a decent deal IMO
I love my dad's SY C2S...it doesn't have the aerokit or graphics but I like the aero on that car.
The 997 C2S is a blast...you really sit low in the cockpit and it has a very good "back to roots" Porsche feeling to it.
Beautiful car! Congratulations on an excellent choice! I love the color and the options list.
Funny. Over on the 997 Forum they have been arguing the merits of the future resale of this car because of its color. Over here, we are all loving the car and your choice to get it.
It is awesome.
And if you tire of it some day, someone here on the 996 Forum is going to ****** it up from you while the 997 guys continue to argue the merits of it marketability. LOL!
I think they have a point, but to me, you see so few of these, they really stand out and I love the color. the last thing I'm thinking about is the resale ability. I mean color choice is so personal, you can't blame anyone for geting what they want - getting rid of it is a different story, but again, I'm not worried.
Love the color and the graphics. It is totally different and who cares what other people say. You like it - Thats what matters. Post some pics when you can!
the funny thing is, it seems everyone here on Rennlist (the P-car community) love it - as do I
my good friend hated it, but he hates the fact that his AMG can't caryy my jockstrp either. sure he can do a burnout doughnut in the middle of the street, so that says enough right there....he's more nascar than me!!!
can't wait to compare with the 996. although I know I'm going to like the 3.8L
You will love the 3.8L. I used to own a 997.1 (Carrara White). Had bunch of mods done by Sharkwerks after I purchased. Then sold it a few years later. I really miss my 997. Someday I will get another one and do what you did by keeping the 996.
Well worth it. I got Air Intake by EVOMS, Lowered Suspension, Flashed, EVOMS headers, updated pedals. They are well known for tuning newer porsches. You should visit them. Go to 6speedonline and read some of their articles. Alex and James are great to work with.
I saw that you were in between a gt3 and S model.
what would be your opinion between the two cars, I suppose you drove both ?
I just love the idea of being able to go on the track without worries and still be able to drive to work with the same car.
BTW, do you know if the gt3 is more expensive to maintain, considering it got more expensive/high reliability parts ?
phil
GT3 all the way, it's just so much more exclusive also. Total driver's car.
Problem with me is lack of patience, I moved to the C2S becasue of the color/options combo in what I found - the GT3 just never matierialized.
Everything I hear about the GT3 is that it's near bullet-proof. the purists/enthusiasts love them.
You're a lucky guy but how do you decide what to drive. It's funny to hear you say that about the headlights, because that is my only gripe about the 996, I don't care much for the headlights.
Amazingly interesting!! I love the 996 headlights! (specially the left one).
The shape is very close to some Ferrari and other gorgeous exoctic models.
You must be quite a happy puppy for a pissedpuppy.

I've never had a problem with the shape of the 996 headlights either. When I look at them, I see round headlights covered by an Italian-esque clear cover like Ferrari used to do a lot.
I think it was supposed to go on a truck yesterday, or today (from Chicago to SF) - not sure, 4 or 5 days?
you have any idea how long it might take? I mean, it could be as quick as 3 days I suppose
PP, when I had my car shipped the company (DAS) had a website where I could follow (track) the truck as it moved across the country. Didn't get a lot of work done at the office that week! See if your company has that--it might give you an idea when to expect it.
PS: In my case I saw the car was coming in 5ish I went to the terminal and waited for the truck. When he got there the driver said after 5pm he needed to leave and unload the truck in the morning. The girl there told him I had been in the office hounding her for an hour and would he please unload it. Of course it was behind 1/2 dozen other cars but he got it out for me that night. I'm sure he missed coaching his kids ballgame or something but I was dying to get that car!!!
