Pictures DO NOT do Guards Red justice. Saw Fabspeed's car and it is really nice. Even wondered for a moment if I had seen that first would I have not ordered red

 

I had a red sports car once...will never do it again...but Docjackson does love his...

 

This will be numero 2 Porsche for me,, i love red 911's

Erik, is there any chance you will be getting in a Yellow turbo. My friend is still looking for one.

 

Erik, any more info on that boat?

 

chris-not me-have never taken the turbo into manhattan. for that, i take the cayenne. i can definitely say that anyone who buys the red turbo from erik is going to get a beautiful looking car. i have a beige interior, which contrasts well with the red. my last porsche before the turbo was a black (like justin) 997c4s, preceeded by three variations of grey (c2, c4s, and 996tt). the color of the red turbo reminds me of my first carrera, an 87 targa, which i loved, and should have kept. probably also because the interior of the 997 is getting back to the classiness and distinctiveness of the older carreras, something which, i think, the 996's were getting too far off course on. anyways, if you were going to buy any car from eric, i would say that the red one will always have you looking at your car one more time.

 

chris-did you sell your c4s yet? how is/was your experience trying to sell it?

 

Just trading it in at the dealer, it's got 63k miles. I tried a while back when I had the oem aerokit/x73 setup on the car, but had little interest, so I put it back to bone stock.

 

makes sense chris-too much effort to sell it privately, and with the dealer, you'll obviously save the sales tax.

 

Hey Don...the problem I had with red was that I was constantly pulled over by the cops...I had always heard that they attract more attention but didn't believe it until I got one and then spent all my time in traffic court. Also, I found that unless very well taken care of (which just isn't me)...the red paint fades and looks off. But I did have a 3000GT in red not a Porsche so maybe Porsche paint is better. Doc's car looks great in red.

Another issue I had was that it just attacted too much attention for my comfort level...I know these cars are made to attract attention but there is just something different about red.

I don't know...I have said it before...I am stuck in my paradigms...to me red=Ferrari and Porsche=black.

 

HI Justin

I had a red 993 coupe for 4 years,, no cops, no tickets, no attention and I had the black cab for 3.75 years, no cops, no attention.

I really dont think it matters,, of course, I am 56 and when they see me, they pass by... Maybe its age,, lol

I loved my triple black cab but it was a lot of work. Seemed to be more work in maintaining a dust free black car then the red coupe.

Besides, I wanted a change from black. After all,, if I got another black car, my neighbors and friends wouldnt know i had a new car... The average person just sees color,, not coupe or cab with the top up..looks the same to them..

I do like white and originally order the speed yellow BUTchickened out. I d love a SY car someday.

Do you get into the city? I am staying with the family at the Manhattan Club on 7th and 56th... Great timeshare,, only one in the city and its doubled in value since I bought it.. Probably the only timeshare in the USA (maybe the Donatello in SF) that has made money for early-on buyers.

Don

 

Don't get me wrong...red is really sweet...I just prefer black personally.

I am in the city a fair bit...let me know when you are in town...

I actually got a bunch of mailers for the Manhattan Club when they were opening but the timing was not right for me.

 

Justin


I just PM d you with the info..


don

 

But it sold right after it rolled off the truck. I delivered it to it's happy new owner yesterday. The car looks great! If you still want to see pics, e-mail me, since I can't seem to upload anything from here.
