A REintroduction of sorts...

Hey everyone. Long time member here in the 996TT forum, however after selling that car in 2008 have been without wheels... until now.

On Saturday I picked up a 2012 C63 Coupe in Newport Beach and am slowly making my way back to NYC. Have been looking at picking one of these up for quite awhile, and the timing was finally right to pull the trigger. Couldn't be happier with the decision so far - this thing is tons of fun. Sideways city! Got it lightly used CPO from a dealer, and it had everything I wanted - P81 and P30, carbon, etc - except for the lighting package.

If any of you know me from the 996TT forum, you know that the temptation to mod is a sickness that I've been unable to cure. It's terminal ha. So far got some tint on her, blacked out the side markers, and installed ROW airboxes. I got the C63 just so I wouldn't go too crazy on it - I thought it would be a somewhat limited upgrade path and I want to keep it tasteful... but a tune, headers, and exhaust soon wouldn't hurt either...

Anyway, just checking in here. Have a lot of reading up to do, but have a pretty good feel for the car so far. Very predictable that's for sure!

Nice. Enjoy! It will be interesting to hear comparisons between your new ride and the old one, after you've had time to fully bond with the C63
