The Official 6SpeedOnline 997 Owners Picture Thread!
My FIRST PORSCHE in my life + first review!
This is a 2006 997 S Cabrio...
I owned a number of muscle cars, my trade in for this Porsche was a fully loaded, track package 2013 SHELBY GT500 (which I really loved it)...
The reason for trading it in was to save some money and pay-off an account! did it and luckily got enough money left from my GT to get this very new (11665 miles 997S).
The drive: the Porsche is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT ride, I truly state that the GT500 cannot beat this 911 in handling, comfort, pleasure and feelings...
The Porsche gives you a safety sensation when driving, still got great power, in fact I am surprised that the 997S has so much power output, really, it is a fun ride.
Moreover, the 997S has a distinctive sound that really is not comparable with any muscle car I owned.
Loved the 2013 GT500, but the power is a bit too CRAZY...you really have a beast in your hands and you need to be ahead of it at all times, otherwise you will loose the car very quickly...it is a serious STRAIGHT LINE CAR, not for curves nor wet roads!
Porsche rules, and I think it is addictive, since only 4 days of ownership and I am making plans to become a loyal Porsche owner...
By the way, just joined the PCA member!
Thanks everyone...

Congrats, and welcome to the Porsche world. I love my 06 C2S cab too, after over 3 years of ownership and 27,000 miles since purchase. It seems to get better every day.

this was similar to my "Porsche conversion", except I was into making very fast japanese turbo charged cars. Crazy fast in a straight line and ok in the curves, but NOTHING compared to my first drive in a Porsche through the canyons. My whole idea of what cars should handle like changed after one day of driving through the Malibu canyons in a Porsche. At that moment being the king of speed didn't matter anymore. Being a king and hero in the curves and canyons was where it was really at. That was 14 yrs ago and I have never looked back. The joy and connection you feel with Porsches while driving never gets old! Welcome to the club!
Enjoy and hopefully there is many more days with the top down.
