I am so happy to be back to Porsches. This is my 6th Porsche. I still own my Ferrari 99 355 GTS Targa 6speed manual with 18,000 miles but will be selling it. I will post pictures soon of the 997. Just picked it up today. Porsche, there is no substitute.

 

You are so right! Look forward to the photos.

 

Congrats Ron. long road coming back but never too late! feels like a good old days already.

 

Good to see some manuals out there!

 

Just got a 2009 (12/08 build) 997 6MT......

1st Porsche in over 17 years... nice car and am going to add E85/flex fuel, probably a Cobb tuner, new exhaust and take it from there... eventually upgrade turbos etc

 

Congratulations and welcome back Look forward to seeing a few pictures and hearing about some details.

No I still have the Ferrari.

Ferrari 355 GTS/6 speed manuel transmission/Gruppe M carbon fiber air intakes/carbon fiber door seals/console and a couple other areas on each side of engine bay that have carbon parts. Ceramics headers/performance ecu/factory optional clutch cooler intake and heat shield in engine bay. Tubi sport exhaust. Challenge rear grill and Challenge clutch cooler. Engine out service a year ago. Belts/tensioners/spark plugs/new water pump/engine mounts all new seals/brakes bled. Just serviced this year oil and filter/new michelin pilot sport tires. Just paid for registration and smogged a month ago. Clear bra done by Bain of Doza Design. New seats. Service Records. You will not find a nicer one. Four year transferable warrantee if you want it, other wise I will transfer it to my new car. I am into this car for a good $88,000 in the year and 3 months of ownership. This car is in excellent shape. I will take $68,000.

Call Ron if interested. Pink Slip in Hand. 310 839-2748

 

Glad to see you got rid of those paper headers. What a nightmare.

I love the 355, but it's a lot to maintain. GLWS

 

Congrats!! 2011 Manual is rare. What are the color and specs?

 

Basalt Black. I changed my avatar. For some reason posting pictures is not working for me these last two days. Will try again tomorrow. Black leather interior with sport seats.

 

Congrats! Look forward to pics.

 

Hope this works. Pictures of my new ride.

 

Sweet ride! There aren't too many of us manual lovers left, I'm afraid...

 

Im with ya 100% on getting rid of the ferrari. I always dreamt of owning an exotic ever since I was old enough to push a hot wheel around on my parents old carpet in our beat up apartment. But after a year of owning one, I traded in my beautiful 04 Gallardo last week for a 11' Turbo s Cab pdk. Theres no worse feeling then spending so much on a car only to have to worry after every joy ride you go on if it "could be the drive that leads to a 8k repair?". And even worse, spending that 8k just to have to spend another 8k on something else a few months later that the mechanic "conveniently missed". The h*** with that. Thats why I bought a newer model Porsche =]. Same entry price but no worries about ridiculously expensive repairs.
