Thought i would start a belated thread on my new car ....

I've owned it around 7 weeks now and it is my daily driver.
I have a 1993 964 c2 as a toy as well.

I bought the car from hoehn porsche in carlsbad who sold the car originally to the previous owner.
So I have 2 window stickers

For those that don't know, porsche build certain cars with certain features to be given to dealers to display when a new model is launched.
These are known as launch cars and have an option code to state the fact.
one car is given to each of the 200? Dealers in america.
Unless they travelled to germany for the official launch and then they can have two.
The cars can not be optioned and can not be driven. They are in effect "for display purposes only" ..

The first 997 launch cars where identical and based on a Carrera 2s.
They where all black and had some really nice options such as pccb.

The second 997 launch cars arrived with the new models in 2009.
These where different in that 4 different models where offered.

Mine is one of the c4s models.
It came pretty well equipped with meteor grey paint and full black leather trim.
the biggest options for me are the carbon bucket seats, limited slip diff, and sport pasm with the 030 lowered springs.

It also has such niceties as navigation and sirius and bluetooth etc.

Upto now I have improved it with a paddle steering wheel, carbon console to tie the seats in a little better, and spacers to get the stance right.
All parts fitted at circle porsche in long beach.
I am booked in there again next week for the Pse wiring.
At the moment im experimenting with a sharkwerks primary bypass but suspect this will be removed once I have Pse installed.

Here are a few pics of it.
I will be adding more pictures and details later.

 

Excellent taste with a great looking car. Congrats!

 

Thanks kev
I had planned a couple of body mods not too dissimilar to yours.
But im still on the fence.

I just advertised my gt3 front so if it sells that will make my mind up for me ...

If it doesn't ......
Expect new pictures within january

 

Keep that and put it on your car, my friend. That's hard to come by!

Though you'll need new fender liners as well.

 

I've been thinking the same thing.
if I sell it then decide later that I want a gt3 front I guess ill be buying new at over 5k.
But I think I prefer the aerokit front ....

I need to get rid of the rear bumperettes as top priority, so the sale of the front will dictate what rear I order .....

 

Just finished work while the sun was still out (for a change)

So I found a big pile of rocks at the back of site and took some more picture .....

Great car!
I am contemplating a 2009 997 C4S launch car myself.
I understand they were all optioned identical.
I think I have figured out most of the options,

030 - PASM Sports Suspension
P03 - Sport Bucket Seats
672 - Navigation Module for PCM
686 - XM Radio
640 - Sport Chrono Package Plus
810 - Floor Mats in Interior Color
680 - Bose High End Sound Package
250 - Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
619 - Bluetooth Phone Interface
870 - Universal Audio Interface
267 - Self Dimming Mirrors

plus limited slip
The one thing I am not sure is if the car had rain sensing wipers

Can you confirm if they are part of the package?

Thanks

BTW: How do you like the sports seats?

 

Im having a terrible time with the cellphone- corona-photos combination at the moment.
rain sensing wipers is not an option but a 997Carrera standard feature as far as I know.
I will update the thread with photos and details of the options list later.

Imho .......






You should not hesitate to buy it

 

what's with the hand bumper sticker

 

LOL~ a "shocker" sign.

 

2 in sport
And 1 in sport-plus.


:lol:

 

nice car! love those paddles, so much better than buttons. i still would like the paddles to be stationary, instead of rotation with the steering wheel though.

 

Congrats in the purchase Ian c2 that's truly an amazing looking car I would also consider an LED Interior Kit if you haven't already. Enjoy and keep us posted with future modification plans.

 

Im having photo trouble, but here are the options

 

Thanks for all Info.
I'll be joining the 2009 launch car club this Sunday when ill be picking up my 2009 C4S ( so excited :-)
