New to pcar

Just stopped to say hello, I'm picking up my first Porsche next
Tuesday, a 2006 997s, I was hoping to get a fair value for my
2001 Phoenix yellow M3 cab, but that car lost so much value that
I decided to keep it (I guess in those perfect summer days it's nice to have a convertible)

Beauty. Love the clear side markers. You appear to need floormats and man are you lucky! Your cocoa color is on a serious sale right now (normally $113 for $39!) at http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...997S_Floormats

Thank you. The dealer has a new set of floor mats. Is there anything that

already spinning!

Wow; where to begin? The lobster forks are light and nice, but a second set of wheels would be fun. As you can see, I'm a fan of the carrera sports.

Do I see you have carbon fiber interior accents? That is great.

as far as upgrades, it has the carbon fiber, and the factory short shift, which I found interesting (have to get used to it, but I am sure its a good upgrade)
Plus navi, but I guess bluetooth for phone doesnt work because there is the Parrot system installed (I am not sure if it works well or if I should change to a tooki module) Also does it have an aux outlet for sat. radio?

What you need now is that dealer photo as your Avatar! Also, if you haven't done so already, join PCA. Do a HPDC and Autocross school in your new P-car. Most fun you will have without having regrets 9 months later.

I have a Parrott in my car and it works well.

LOL I agree, where to begin with the mods? As far as mods to consider: stiffer front and rear sways, coil overs, (as previously mentioned) a second sent of wheels/tires, IPD plenum, CAI, flash, 200 cell cats, cross pipes, X51 headers, Forced Induction, etc.

The list is never ending. LOL

Oh yes, HPDE best mod out there!

PS, the car is a beauty. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice! I would swap out the PCM with an after market 2din.

Nice, I also just bought my first Porsche and it is also a 997.1 Arctic Silver with black interior. With just 18 000km on the car it is almost like new...

Did you get the chance to ride it a little?
