I'm with you! On this car the two-tone and with the Pebble Grey is just sublime, and not as overstated as the red for some (even though I love the red too!). I have the two tone with the darker grey (albeit on the coupe) and love the black dash especially with the light stitching. Well done and enjoy the open air!

The cab is fantastic. Probably the best drop top in the automotive industry. I did drive a number of coups before buying this cab. It feels just as solid and buttoned down as the coupe. It's unreal. The sound with the PSE is a beautiful thing. Really happy I spent the money on that.

congrats and since pre owned, the $$$$ option cost of two tone leather and body colored wheels for YOU was basically free, in addition to the usual depreciation !

Nice color choices Looks like we are 911 brothers!

I am in the Boston area now and had a chance to put the top down. Even at highway speeds there is so little wind coming into the ****pit...

Love it!

BTW what did you pay for this beauty?

Aaa great! I have about two weeks left before I will get my hands on my cab. I picked the PSE. But i have only driven the coupe so it will be exciting to hear how the sound is.

Buying slightly used is a great way to get into one of these. MSRP was $112k. I paid less than $90k with 7500 miles. It's as good as new. Perfect shape plus clear bra plus tint. The guy basically broke it on for me and saved me $20k. I'll take that all day. Did I mention it's AWESOME? Drove it 11 hours today. Tight as a jar of pickles.

Hey Trimmer

Great color combo! Great car! It's just like mine (except with 200 more horsepower and all that other cool stuff your car has and mine doesn't). Are you from Minnesota? Florida is awesome. I just spent a week on Marco Island. Not a bad state you have there.

Good luck with that rocket.

Hey brother! Looks like we have essentially the same car. Cool. I got the car for about $89k but the dealer threw in the sport design wheel I wanted. I think the deal was epic. This was Colorado Springs Porsche. They were fantastic. George is THE MAN! Best dealer in the Midwest bar none.

Peace

Lovely car, Alec. I'm usually not a fan of gray interiors, but your car looks divine. Enjoy it in good health!

Thanks. I'm not either, if you ask me this is white. It's pretty stunning. Here's a shot.
