After over a year of research, many wonderful nights of 997 dreaming, many wonderful days of 997 dreaming, incredible test drives and fantastic feedback from many happy owners like yourself - I finally pulled the trigger!

I am so excited! I ordered a July build 2006 997 S in Seal Grey w/ manual 6 speed and black interior. When I drove the base 997 a few months ago I was amazed by how incredible this car actually is. I believe that the test drive threw me over the edge, bigtime!

I went for the S because many of the options that I liked (19" wheels, PASM, Xenon, etc) were part of the package and I also wanted the extra power.

Here are the options that I selected:

19” Classic Wheels

Colored Porsche Wheel Crest

Sport Chrono Package

Porsche embossed on the head restraints

Heated Seats

Three Spoke Multi-function Steering Wheel

Bose Audio

Navigation for PCM


Waiting will be hard, but I made it this far Hopefully I will have the car in August!!! My dream finally came true - whoo hooo!!!!!

 

Congrats, get some Valium and enjoy the wait!

 

Congrats Chris,

It's about time

way to go man. MF wheel is hot! it'll be here in no time.

 

Yeah, over the months I checked so many dealers and nobody had an S with reasonable options. I just gave up and ordered exactly whay I wanted

Can't freakin wait!

 

Did u get a chance to look at the 2006 order guide?

 

Did the same thing....just ordered it and decided to wait...

 

CONGRATS. and i suppose i should not test drive this cuz I feel the urge to place an order on 06 as well. :-)

Yeah - I couldn't wait any longer, congrats to those who pulled the trigger with me Just do it Raja - no test drive needed!

I was not able to see the 2006 order guide yet, nor could I see the SRP which is a bit of a concern considering the weak US dollar...
