New to the 997 Group

Hi all,

i picked up my 2007 997 C2 yesterday. I love the way it drives and it seems to be a marked improvement over my 2002 C2 (perhaps due to the fact that my 996 had a B&M SSK). At any rate, i am very pleased.
2007 997 C2
Exterior: White
Interior: tan (camel?)
19" Champion RG5 wheels
19K miles
CPO for 5 yr/100K miles
Mint condition, looks like new inside/out

I take it that you did not like the B&M SSK, and welcome to the 997 family.

JJ- Hey buddy, upgrade that suspension to some KWv3's and I'll show you how to swing that @$$ - It's all in the suspension settings.

i got really tired of how notchy it was. it made shifting something you had to think about. granted, i liked the shorter throw, but gradually i grew to hate the shift feel. the 997 gearbox is so much smoother and feels shorter than the 996 stock was.
