Well done! Like a NB GTS, but with some unique features. Great retro looks.

Hey Buckwheat 986....The PDK took a while to get used to. At first I hated it but I came around and learned to like it. I just like to shift the gears and since his is a weekend car so I need as much interaction as i can get.

Thanks to all for the kind responses.
I passed on a White 09 Turbo 6 speed loded with extras, like PCCB, deviated stitching, lots of added leather, white seatbacks, red belts very low miles and a great price as well. I chased it for 6 months and would you know it the guy called me the night before I was picking up the Carrera S. I stayed with my decision and an happy for that.

Great looking car with an outstanding build sheet. I did the PDK to 6 speed switch and I am enjoying the 6 Speed.

I can understand the 6MT switch but I am not feeling the retro look. The fuch wheels look too outdated. Glad you like it though.

+1, never been a fan of the fuch's especially on modern 911's. Congrats OP, nice pickup. Glad you decided on a manual, who cares if PDK shifts faster, it's just not as fun, manual shifting > automatic shifting.

You know, I understand the whole Fuchs, "911 Heritage" thing, but normally I think I'd agree with Ynot & djantlive.

That being said, I think this car looks HOT with those wheels on it. I didn't think I'd say that, but yeah, the more I look at it the more I like it.

To me, it's like it ties-in the heritage with modern, without being too "urgent" about it. That is a GREAT looking car, and yep, great options (Alcantara not withstanding); esp the PCCB's. I know I know, Porsche has some of the finest brakes anyway, but the PCCB's are just plain COOL.

Great stance, too.
