Congrats

That is a well equipped car! You will have a grinn everytime you drive it,

During my assessment phase, I test drove an M3 and it felt lethargic and the interior was a few notches down. It was a 6 speed manual 4 dr....I also drove some boxsters and after driving the 911, I didn't look back.

The interior with full leather is gorgeous and raises the bar, taking this sports car to luxurious standards.

The car originally came with the Carreras classics which are easy to clean and lightweight. Since I had my heart set on the sports, I finally got a set. Just know that they are much heavier and I noticed it immediately. But wouldn't change the way it looks!

Enjoy your ride and welcome to the forum.

First Tuesday of every month the Raleigh area group (some have come as far as Wilmington) have their monthly meeting (and Pizza Buffet) at Magic Mushroom in Cary. Bring your kids, it would not be the first time!

I. LOVE. MY. CAR.

delivered today around 2pm.... perma-grin

I'll try to post pics soon, but I'm busy driving it and just spending time starring at it. I'm currently asking if anyone needs me to run an errand for them, say to Chicago and back, or Ariz., Alaska?

I take that back...second look shows seal gray. Also a great color. Fairly light like actic, but shows some interesting blue under diffuse light. Enjoy!

Well, it was a nice weekend for me...

This car is everything I wanted it to be and more and every single time I got in to drive I got more confident and felt better better able to drive it smoothly. I'm not an accomplished race driver by any means, but I've driven manual transmissions since I first started driving. This is (of course) the best manual I've ever driven and it was totally the car making it easy on me. I was expecting to stall it, miss gears, etc. at least the first time or two I drove it..... nope.... it was really impeccable. Now I know what I've been missing.

I'm also trying (and not successfully) to upload a sound clip of the exhaust, I've watched a ton of before and after clips about the PSE and Gundo Hack versus stock....and this car sounds exactly like the Gundo...it's quite loud and sounds amazing. I'm 99.9% sure it's already been hacked.

couple of pics after it was cleaned...

See, I told you that you would love it. Join the addiction. BTW, great color. My Cab is also Seal Grey but since I have Stone Grey leather interior, the top is also stone grey. I've also been thinking about the "gundo" hack. Glad to know you think its amazing.

just got a message with a pic of the car...it's all ready to ship!

Let me know if you decide to swap out the wheels, I'd be interested in looking at them.

will do, I may still swap them out, but to be honest they look a lot better in person than I thought they would.
