991 on order!!!!

I pulled the trigger. I trade my Corvette ZR1 for the following:

911 Carrera 4S
Guards Red
Black leather interior
BOSEŽ Audio Package
Premium Package with Adaptive Sport Seats Plus
Aerokit Cup
ParkAssist (front and rear)
Model Designation "911"
Sport Exhaust System
Sport Chrono Package
Power Steering Plus
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) combined with PASM sports chassis (- 20 mm)
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
20-inch SportDesign wheel
Wheels painted Black
Wheel spacers, 5 mm
Seat belts in Guards Red
Instrument dials in Guards Red
Sport Chrono stopwatch dial in Guards Red
Multi-function steering wheel


Should be on production in March, delivery in May ... Next 5 months will be very long!!!!

I'm not looking for extreme power anymore. Maybe it is because I'm getting old ... or sage

That looks like an awesome build. You will love the color coordinated dials and belts, and guards red is drop dead gorgeous. Can't wait to hear your comparison and review of driving the 991 with respect to the Zr1. I have the sport design wheels and they are surprisingly easy to clean.
The wait is very hard but you will love the end result.....

Congrats!
Don't worry about the seeming lack of HP... the 991 (especially the C4S) is not about that but rather about ultimate handling and when you hit that sport plus button and put your foot down, I defy anyone to not say WOWWWW.

I almost (very, very close) bought a AMG SLS instead of a 991 C4S and the best way to describe it is like the difference between a broadsword and a scalpel...
HP and torque have their place for sure... but when you go trough corners like your on rails and the car is doing things which seem to defy the laws of physics... that pain in your face is not from regret but rather from smile on your face!

Now the hard part starts... the wait!!

That is a very very nice build! Looking forward to seeing the pics of the car when it arrives. The wait begins but it is totally worth it.

Congrats! Is it going to be a 2013 MY? I would think that the 2014's maybe come around June, but maybe not until July/Sep.

I called the vendor to get the black headlights also ...

Except for the wheels which I selected SportDesign, the car exterior is very similar. On the pic it is a S and I bought a 4S.
