my 2010 997 S cab
I have had the car 1 week. I had PSE installed and windows tinted. i am in love with the car and was extremely happy with the service I received from Mike O'Donnell at Bert Smith in Saint Petersburg, Florida. I highly recommend Bert Smith and Mike. It was a total pleasure to deal with them. Mike took me on a test drive. Later that day the negotiations began. He located the exact car I wanted and had it delivered 3 days later. Mike brilliantly demonstrated everything on the car like NAV etc..
background - I had a 2005 997 S cab ( seal grey) - I sold it Feb 2008 for a CLS63 AMG - I have 2 small kids (only 1 at the time) and I felt I needed more room. I regretted the sale every day since. The Benz was a monster and looked hot sittin on Black Maya DTV 20s but just never made me smile. It was super fast but just wasn't fun to drive. I missed the 911 and having a convertible. My beautiful wife said "Go be happy - get the 911 convertible again" - thats when the test drive occurred.
I promised my wife I would buy a car she could drive- thus the PDK transmission. Honestly, I would have gotten it anyway for launch control and the extra performance. I do sometimes miss shifting my 6 spd but I LOVE the PDK. I even really like the buttons rather than paddles (shocking because I thought it was a dumb idea to not have paddles - i was wrong)
My car: 2010 997 S cab
Triple black
PDK
Sports chrono Plus
Bose
Bluetooth
self dimming mirrors
colored wheel centers
NAV
XM radio
Universal audio
Heated seats
Ventilated seats
Power seats w/ memory
PSE with ashtray switch
Tinted windows
V1 hardwire
Love PDK - lightening fast shifts and launch control is sick
Love Bluetooth and universal audio - iphone works great - who needs a CD player?
Love NAV - touchscreen is amazing
XM radio was a must
Heated/Ventilated seats - Cool seats is HUGE in hot Florida summers especially with the top down!
PSE is great but doesn't sound as loud as PSE on 997.1
I didn't have to settle - I got my dream car with every option I wanted - Thanks Mike!
Only thing I will add now is new wheels - maybe champion RS97s or something similar and possibly in black (i like the murdered out look - haven't decided on that part yet)
Probably will skip the clear bra - haven't decided 100% yet
I only have 350 miles on her so haven't used launch control (i used it twice on the test drive). The car feels quicker and tighter than my 2005. Also, the 2005 didn't have NAV, bluetooth, vent seats etc...It lacked the comfort options. This car is superior in every way.
I am totally in love and now look forward to running errands for the wife again. Just give me a reason to drive her!!!
Thanks to everyone on here for the suggestions and help. {Posting just a couple pics for now)
Thanks

Congrats
It is beautiful. I also got my car from mike and let me just say he is the definition of class. I've been friends with him since high school and he has always been a top notch guy. I would recommend both him and bert smith to anyone.
Can't wait to see the beauty in person at cars and coffee and hear the PSE.
I'll trade some lambo seat time for a spin to try out the PSE.
