Just tell those whom got a glimpse of the "dancing girls" that they are a reflection of the agility, sexy sound and proportional design lines of the generation of 911's and that this how Porsche owners celebrate the arrival of their new 991 ... they're lucky they we're spared the correctly proportioned female representation of the Cayenne, huba huba...

I've learned that there's a boat leaving every 2 weeks with shipment (not sure if that's Canada, US or both), the last one left the 18th so I'm on the next one out which is Feb. 1st.
I'm sure my baby will be joined by many of his brothers and sisters destined to fellow 6speed members... sound like a party!

LOL so what I just posted above is already coming true!
It's not Vegas but what happens on the vessel stays on the vessel!
Might as well be a mistress... because I'm head over heels hehehe.
Nice to be amount a group that doesn't think it's strange or at least... because we're ALL a little strange here!

Me Too!!!!

I'm so happy, I keep catching myself with a big grin on my face...it's ridiculous!
Right after some shots and lots of drooling I'm going to get in my C4S and not get out until my tires wear gone!
Which could be soon if I can't keep my fingers away from that damn sport+ button!

Thanks!!!

The difference between men and boys is the size of their toys... but the kid inside doesn't know that.
I find the more we have the more "jaded" we become (speaking for myself)... it's nice to know some things still transcend those predispositions.


It's coming, it's coming, it's coming... it's cooooooooming! hehehehe

Yep Euro configurator only though.
Ahem OK, OK... they are actually Scandinavian University students part an international classical education exchange program... I just don't see my wife agreeing with the "exchange" part of the equation.

Welcome!
Looks like you got all the good stuff!
It's good to hear you don't miss your GT3, not an easy model to replace.
There's few other 991 guys as well (like Haku) whom went that route (997 GT3 to 991) everyone seems real happy with their new ride.

I took the liberty of increasing the size of your pics... This C4S definitely deserves it.

Any feedback on your first impression (I know minus sport+ not really fair, but still).
It's been said (by Journo's whom don't actually own a 911) that the ride on the C4S is harder than the C2S... anything to this?

BTW nice choice of rides!
There's a few other members as well which have the same combo (991 + F430) kinda makes me wish I hadn't sold my last 360 spider... that said the 430 is sooo much better it's not really comparable.

Any chance of getting you to take some shots of these 2 rides side by side... I'd love to see how the newly designed body and proportions compares.

Congrats!

Thanks, Sid.

I have Sport plus on my C4S also. Drove it up to Napa today. Keeping rpm under 4200 is killing me; getting cramps on my toes preventing from stepping on the pedal! Can't wait til I push this car to really see how it feels! Still trying to get used to PDK.

Never had C2S so don't know how they compare, but this is definitely a different breed than my previous 997 C4S. Feels closer to a mid engine; I guess pushing that engine forward did make a difference.

Actually my F-car is a 2004 360 Spider 6 speed. Thought about upgrading to 430, but I just love my 6 speed too much to let it go.
