My New (to me) 2011 997.2 Turbo S

Hi everyone! I've been lurking here on 6speed for a while and decided to join after I just took delivery of this gorgeous Turbo S. I've been a BMW guy for quite some time and had to see what the P-car craze was all about. All I can say is I'm absolutely blown away by this car.

I'm looking forward to learning a lot on these forums and my first round of mods. So far I'm planning:
-Exhaust (probably catless)
-Cobb AP & Dyno Tune
-Intercoolers (not sure if necessary with exhaust and tune?)
-Xpel Stealth clear bra
-Painting wheels gloss black (still on the fence about this)

Here are some average iPhone Pics. I will get a proper photoshoot of this thing soon!

And here's a shot of what I got rid of to get into this turbo. Supercharged E90 M3. I will miss this car but the turbo is in a different league...blows it out of the water in every aspect!



UPDATE!

Finally got around to getting some proper (non iPhone) pictures taken of my car. Here they are:

Great car, congrats! Love the 997.2's

We have a few very good exhaust options for that model, if you are interested.

Nice congrats. I still have my supercharged e92 M3...couldn't part with it.

Let me know if you want to chat with someone that's done some modding on the 997.2.

Looking good, that's as solid a platform as they come. Enjoy in good health. You can't go wrong with modding tips from Longboarder (owns probably one of the fastest 997.2 TTS on the planet)!

I remember your white e92 from m3post! I love the s65 and I would be lying if I said I wouldn't miss it. Wish I could have kept both.

I will 100% take you up on that offer. This is my first Porsche so I will definitely have some questions. Your car also inspired me to go .2 as I was looking at .1's for a while before deciding to go .2

Nice! Do you mind me asking how many miles on the odometer when you bought it and price? Feel free to PM me if you don't feel replying here - greatly appreciate it!
I'm looking for a 2011/2012 Turbo S. I've driven the 991.1 CS/C4S on many occasions and while a great sports car, its really missing the connection to the road.

Congrats on the car. I am in central NJ too so will likely see you at meets etc.
I have a modded .2 as well and have tried almost every aftermarket upgrade option available from several different companies. If you have any questions or want to check my car out hit me up.
