WHAT!!!! how did I miss this post?!!!!

So are we looking at deliveries in the fall?
When can we order?
When will all this show up on the configurator?
Will I be able to resist the GT3? Or the Turbo? Or the 4S?
Should I dip into the slush fund?
Should I tell the wife that another few months of coping with me in a state of semi-madness should be expected next year?
Questions, questions!

Stop posting stuff like this Sid!!!

 

Hi!

Someone ordered his C4 in agate grey - like me ?

LOL every single day!!!

It's pathetic... and not just in Montreal. Toronto etc. but also LA, New York etc.... it's gotten real bad and it will only get worse.
Europe is not far behind I dare say (expect for Germany) all other EU countries which don't already have cobble-stone infrastructure (Amsterdam) to deal with will soon be dealing with the same type of disrepair we have in large parts of North America.

As to the videos... good stuff, thanks for posting!!!

Yeah in real life I'm a bit more of a "lose canon" lol but on here I'm kinda careful because with the written word "the tone" is often open to interpretation so my sense of humor sometimes gets lost in translation... nothing a few night in Amsterdam can't fix though.

Enjoy your post to, you're usually on the money hehehe.
BTW I put the info on $ you asked about below.

OK... no more coffee for the gentleman with the silver 991!
In retrospect I think the GM wasn't allowed to tell me about the new widebody variants... and I in turn was suppose to have kept it under my hat... oohpssss to late.

Damn I hate to be "that guy" but how could I keep something like that from you guys?!
I did ask about the price etc but he was... lets say less "enthusiastic" with info then yesterday.

So I had to get creative with... "if I end up buying this C4S and find out I could have gotten a Turbo for 20 grand more... I'm gonna be seriously pissed!!
Where upon he pulled out some papers (very old school ...) did some searching on his computer and said that the same build I have now on the C4S Cab (165K) would be about 215K with the turbo... crazy I know but I kinda expected as much.

Now both of those numbers are before taxes... so you can add another 16%.
Also, that is in Canada.. we pay about 15 to 20% more than you guys in the in the US, but it does give a good idea of the delta between the C4S and Turbo.

Cheers!

 

Another walkround vid

 

and another ...

 

Nice find! That white with platinum wheels and sport design at the beginning is just like my C4S will look when it arrives! Only a few more days of waiting...

Thanks for sharing.

 

Say whaaaaa???? That's big news. I too am hoping for astronomical turbo / turbo S pricing. They couldn't have given the C4 people even a few months actually getting their cars before they bring out something else? sheesh :-p

 

This is exactly why I haven't jumped on any car right now.

I'm stuck in a car that I absolutely adore, so it's not like I'm hurting.

The thing I like about the C4S (for those who like N/A, as opposed to F/I), is that it is the top of the line. I don't share that opinion, and MUST wait until Turbo comes out (maybe even the S, depending on cost).

(I don't fully understand the Turbo 'S' - why don't they just release the one version, and make them all awesome?)

But, because I'm a turbo fanatic, and there is no longer that turbo lag phenomenon, this makes me jump over the N/A versions (non-GTS) and right to the top.

 

They can't do that, or the page under "All 911 Models" on porsche.com will not have enough little pictures of 991 for us to pick from. I think there were 20 version with 997. I am thinking there will be 40 to chose from after they roll out all the 991. 20 plus another 20 special 50th anniversary edition of each.

 

Jasper I'm not sure what the hell you're trying to do...
I was enjoying the equilibrium we had... and even some of your posts so maybe I'm misreading this but I've got to tell ya your whole post has an air of superiority to it...
Who are you trying to convince here?

You're on a C4S thread and are belittling those that are dropping between a 140K to a 185K because it's not a Turbo... really?????
You posted previously...

So you priced yourself out of the 991 at a 120K but "you'd jump right over the n/a (non GT) 991 versions, right to the top"...
Those Turbo 991's will go for north of 185K... add some options and you're at 210K... now add your taxes and your at 240/250K... and you would even consider a Turbo S (280K+)...listen why don't you let us know when that happens OK big dog.
Until then, you can keep driving your superior Nissan GTR (I know, I know... your car is "faster" than all 991's out right now) and I will go around suffering in my lowly 991 C4S...

Do us both a favour and keep these types of posts of this thread, OK.

 

I've read your post a few times and even wound up the old enigma machine and still could not decipher your contradictory post!

What are you on about matey? Like it one moment and dislike it another?

Your post conveys a sense of self-convincing righteousness. The words "stuck" and "adore" used together in your sentence really do nothing about portraying your over exuberant contentment with your car.

Ah well... enjoy your GTR... if you do!

 

Alright, moving on... here's a video of a few C4/S in a dealers showroom (including a white one with a sport package)... nothing too exciting in it's presentation but it does have a nice sound clip at the end, love that gratuitous noise.
I wish I could just walk into a dealer here and see them in the flesh, sigh soon... though soon

Yep it's looking mighty fine in white, this video made me think of your car.
When are you expecting your baby to arrive!?

 

Thanks! It should be very very soon. I got confirmation that it went on a vessel on 11/13. I see that the "Olympian Highway" left Emden on that day and is getting into Davisville, RI tomorrow. It's currently offshore of Rhode Island as of tonight. I'm pretty sure that's the boat the car should be on.

With a little luck I'm hoping to see it late next week. With less luck I'm hoping the week after.

Since I'm picking up right at the beginning of winter I think I'm going to have the dealer mount up winter tires for me prior to pick up too.

 

Wow...that'll be fantastic. Please do keep us posted as that'll give me some estimation of time elapsed between ETD to ETA...

Mine is now scheduled to be finished by 12/3 (yep a day pull in )...I'll be counting hours after that ...

 

Nice post! Thanks
