hesperus is just really nicehesperus is just really nicehesperus is just really nicehesperus is just really nicehesperus is just really nice
congrats! wonderful car.

maybe i'm in the minority here, but i do prefer the overall look of the 996 GT2 to the 997 GT2. something more subtle yet more menacing about the 996...

I thought that GT2 looked awfully familiar. You sir, have purchased one Hell of a fine car...I should know as I have chased it through the backwoods of central Florida on several occasions! Congratulations and enjoy it in good health.

Awesome car but a little stiff for New York. The roads here suck !
Car is very low and sometimes scrapes going in and out of gas stations and driveways. There are 2 plastic air guides for the front brakes that are pretty low to the ground. I already broke the clips on both of them.
Lots of luck and be carefull ! Easy on the gas on turns !

You never answered my PM man!
