picked up a new 997...pics

I sold my 06 997s last year then got a Granturismo but I still missed the porsche. Found a good deal on this 09 Carrera S last week. It has PDK, bose, sport chrono, sport seats, bluetooth and a couple other goodies. My old 997 was 6 speed and I always told myself I would never get an auto porsche but after test driving the PDK I fell in love. Enjoy..

Congrats! She's a beaut.

My dad and I went in on an 08 Gran Turismo last year (Silver on Red) and, while that car is just a joy to drive, it is definitely more of a "grand tourer" like the name indicates than the Porsche.

By your sig, it looks like you kept the GT -- so you're getting the best of both worlds!

Drive it in good health.

Yeah the granturismo is right in the middle. Too heavy and slow to be a fully sport car but in my opinion much more fun to drive than it's competition (CL550, BGT?). I still have it..definitely not the time to sell right now and it still makes for a fun weekend cruiser.

Congrats on the car man. Ive said the same thing I love a 6 spped but driving that PDK i dont know now that thing is ridiculas. I want to know though any1 drive a 6 speed in the 2009??? Im wondering if it feels faster than a 997.1 w a 6 speed because of the DFI engine

Beautiful car. Do you notice the difference of the 06 and the 09 with DFI?
