I'll write some more in a couple days.... Just got back from Zuffenhausen which is about a 3 hour drive from where I live. It was absolutely great ! The car drives wonderful. Here is a preliminary picture taken in the expedition department. Don't know how to add more here.....
ALRIGHT!! I can't believe you got a cab!!!
WOWWW you have got to be one of the very first ones with one!
OK I'm a little jealousy... but also so very happy for you!
Tell us about the tour and how does it ride?
From my conversation with Porsche AG in Germany they told me the reason I could not have PASM-Sport is because the C4S cab already has a much harder set up than the coupes and that too make spring rates and anti roll bars higher/thicker would make it an unbearable ride...but in the current configuration it was just right, but at the limit.
Soooo... any feed back?
CONGRATS!
More pics please!

Hey Ravi!
Damn I had to go back 5 pages to see what option 1 was again!
Funny enough option 1 is actually growing on me... I know go figure!
When I first saw it I absolutely hated all that damn text, what..were they writing a book?
If you compare the text below the PORCHE you'll notice it is actually quite small, fine and almost delicate... about half the size of the text on the 996 & 997.
That reminds me... a big thank you to all for your votes and opinions!
My apologies for the belayed appreciation!
I seem to get distracted easily these da..... look a squirrel....

As much as it pains me to say this.... from the front/half-profile it is damn hard (grrrrr ok almost impossible) to see the difference... -sigh-
That said in person the difference is more "evident" than in pictures because of the shape of the rump (above the wheels arches) that is is not the same on the C4/S.

Sorry, I don't know what is going on. Looks like only 1 of my 4 pics posted. I'll try to fix in a few. White and Agate are both 4S's. Black is a 2S.

Stopped by my local P-Car Dealer today becuase my sales person let me know they got there first allocation of 4S's delivered. Been dieing to see it up close to see how much wider the back end looks. It is Wider (We all know this), but IMO, much more subtle than I thought, based on how the 997 models compared. Here is a picture of a C2S and C4S side by side. I wish they weren't staggard for better comparison. Sorry for the lousy iPhone Pics.
I thought this picture was kind of cool because it allows you to see 3 different wheel styles at the same time.
Lastly, I noticed, they modified the Side Grills in front of the radiators (Black Plastic Slats) on the left and right side of the standard front end. Might be hard to see in the picture, but it is 1 piece in the shape of a "C"now, rather than 2. No big deal, but a change I noticed.

Edit... I see you were able to get the other shots up to now, good stuff, thanks!!

Hopefully this worked so everyone can now see all 4 pictures.
