The car is a 7 speed manual with Premium, Bose, Sport Chrono, sunroof and the 20" platinum finish wheels. It turned quite a few heads on the way home from the dealer.
Looks very good, congrats!
Did you get PASM?

guards red 991....................

very nice..................991 still looks very Japanese...............370Z-esque to me. I think the 997 will be considered one of the benchmark 911's...................

Thanks - No PASM just standard shocks. Ride is actually very good even with the 20s.

Thanks - It's a 2012 that was in stock at the dealer for a bit of time giving me some leverage to negotiate for a SIZEABLE discount off MSRP.

awesome RED!!!!

All these electronic faults at delivery are starting to raise an eyebrow...this is probably the third similar post I've read on the interweb, and the C2S PDK I test drove on July 4th had an airbag fault.

Concur, although I would just remove the word electronic in respect for the transmission that only made it a few miles and the relief valve that put my car down after 700. That doesn't change my opinion that the car is operationally genius but I expect more of Germans in general and Porsche in particular.

I thought it was common knowledge/common sense to "wait out" the first year (at least) of a completely re-designed car. There are always issues (and fixes) that get filtered back into production (and re-call of those cars that are already out) for the next model year.

OP. Good luck. Nice color combo.

This is a problem with all first year new model cars, MB, BMW, and Porsche are no exceptions. That why I like to wait a year and let them work out all the problems.
