New to 6speedonline--completed my 45 year dream!
Hello to one and all!
In July 2011, I completed a 45 (forty-five) year dream by purchasing a 2006 997.1 Carrera S. It is Speed Yellow, has the Chrono package, PASM, heated, power sport seats, yellow seat belts, three spoke wheel, short shifter, sunroof, 19" rims, new Pirelli tires, Xenon headlights, Clear Bra, a CPO, and less than 25,000 miles on the odometer. I purchased it for approximately 44% off of retail!!!
As one who raced formula cars in the distant past, I have driven numerous vehicles over the decades. I can say that for me, this car is THE most organic road vehicle that I have ever piloted. Because of the weight shift due to engine location, i have had to adapt my driving style to the car. It is a wonderful learning experience. I'm sure that when I "get it right" it will be magical.
Currently, I'm installing a NHP 200-cell cat X-PIPE and a NHP valved muffler from Maximum Motorsports. I've already decided to powder-coat the tips a matte black and reuse them with this new system. Should look and sound great. (By the way, working on the phone with Nello, the owner of Maximum Motorsports, has been really nice and most enjoyable.)
So, in the end, I feel that I have FINALLY made it into the "Group A" cars, as I call them.
Wow...
Finally, I'm looking forward to "speaking" with you on this forum.
