I guess they won't stop until every car in the lineup looks the same. Why put the turbo nose on the C2/C4S/Turbo?

Except for the turbo nose (which belongs on a turbo) + add an aerokit especific for that model and I think its what they should have offered since the beginning when the 996 came out ... sort of a C2R.

If this is $89k, how much is a regular C2 in the US? Where is the info of that car?

Nice car, but not worth 89K. Id rather get a C4S moderately modded.

Actually, seems like a pretty good price once you add up all the (admittedly overpriced) options. It will be the second fastest NA 996, next to the GT3, too.

X-51, 030 suspension, 18"s, special paint, painted console, heated seats, sport seats, PSM all on a regular C2 would probably well exceed 89k.

Also, at least somewhat exclusive, with only 1,963 being made.

I wonder if it has full leather,I suppose it does for that price. I think it's pretty good, at least it's geared to performance and not just looks as in the past.

Hey Don:

They took all of your ideas on Misty and made it into the "new" 40th anniversary 911. They (PNA) should be paying you for helping them with the research & development.
Look at the front grills, I remember you were thinking about painting the grill inset-silver, turbo nose, aero side skirts, and a OEM rear wing.
