A time for a goodbye...

Got a 997 last friday. Really love it and it's more than what I was expecting. Regular carrera with (now) carrera S black wheels. Sport Chrono Plus. Really love this machine. The sport mode really wakes this little beast. Mods will have to wait a little until I recover but it is all worth it. A natural evolution. Still have the 996 so life couldn't be better but a guy is looking a the 996 (for the third time) on monday...

here's the beast:

Well, the 997 drives tighter and it's perkier. Not really a notable difference in power but shifting is shorter and more precise. Once you hit the sport button on the 997, the differences become more notable. The interior on the 997 is much better but my 996 was full carbon fiber, painted center console and stuff. Between the spartan 997 and my soup-up 996, even my wife said that she prefer the 996 interior. I plan to do the same to the 997... carbon fiber and painted console. The 997 is an evolution to the 996, not a revolution, but yes, even the base 997 with the wider hips looks awesome compared to a 996...

Now all you have to do is unload that POS 996 C2 on some unsuspecting civilian that has no idea about the grenading m96 engines!
