Smile Quick Intro

Just wanted to introduce myself. I recently picked up an 07 Vantage, loving the car so far. I am coming for a long Air-cooled Porsche background and really enjoy build up cars to make them special to me. The Vantage to 964 is a a fun move, the Vantage is so much bigger! Here are a few photos of the 964 and the Vantage.

Cheers
Daryl

Welcome! That is a great pair of cars. Funny how even sports cars have ballooned in size over the last few decades, isn't it? It's even more of a shock when you park a new 911 next to an old one!

Yep, it's on HR and is very low. I have to be super carful getting into my driveway. I may end up putting on KW's or swapping springs for the velocity_AP ones.

Its black inside with silver stitching and headliner.
Nicely optioned:
  • HID
  • cruise
  • Bluetooth
  • premium radio
  • memory and heated seats
  • bright grill
  • red calipers
  • cool mudflaps
  • folding mirrors and homelink

The size is why I got it, my wife has never been a fan of me taking the kids in the little pCars so a bigger fun car was needed.

These are very wide cars. Almost 9" more than a 964.

As long as it's just your cars that balloon over decades, you guys should see my neighbors wife how she has grown over the last few years

That off my chest, gosh does that vantage make the VW look so less desirable stunning car bud love the colour and calipers ..... Looks very familiar
