Beautiful! Did you buy this from Porsche of Colorado Springs? If so, I was looking at this one. Solid work! Are you going to join PCCA and the RM chapter? I just signed up.

Yes, I did just get this from PCS yesterday. You had to know it wouldn't last long once the weather warms up. I am a member of the CECA thru Viper and I do TT track events with NASA, which tend to be the only organized events that get me out. This is my third Porsche, and second 911. The last one I sold in 1998 was a 1985 turbo bodied Carrera, Guards Red that I had for 13 years. That car was a blast. I had a great 13 years behind the wheel of that last 911, but I hope that I have an even better experience with this one. It feels like a huge upgrade from the old Carrera although not as raw and 'connected' driving experience. The capability of the TS seems way above the air cooled car although I had a good setup on that one. This one, as you know, is stock. I have also owned Corvettes, Vipers, Ferrari and BMW's. This is an awesome car, and I love the PDK, Sport Plus mode. (I have a 6 speed ACR for track duty). I also like the 'normal' setting for highway cruising. When I drove home to Evergreen on Saturday it was snowing in a few areas, and falling heavy with very slick slushy roads coming up the canyon on 285. The car did great, although I did feel on the edge of adhesion at times. I have done this same drive in the ACR with Hoosiers, and it wasn't fun. The PCCB brakes are definitely an upgrade for street driving applications, and this car is a blast! Sorry you missed out, but happy hunting and let us all know what you end up buying!
