Well i finally bought a w/c 911 and moved into the 21st century !

Manual Coupe S , Black / black Original UK spec + factory short shift

52k miles Good history & PPI . Drove 400 miles home with no issues and more than satisfied
with the all round performance . No plans to change anything significant for the time being .
Not as characterful on short runs as my previous a/c cars , but i plan to use this one a lot more .
Only gripe is that road noise is a bit high on motorways for a car so well equipped with Bose etc .
Overall , what a great car for the money as you all know .

You cant beat black for looking sharp when clean and your car is very clean welcome to the 21st century lol.

Road noise is there, but sometimes it gets more noticeable by the type of tire, and definitely does with certain type of road surfaces.

Yes, welcome aboard.

I have noticed with mine that road noise varies with type of tire and age of tire. Maybe your tires are getting old? Maybe try a different brand when current ones wear out?

Car has Michelin PS2 on the rear dated 2013 & PS3 on the front dated 2011 , plenty tread left .
The fronts are not N rated and the road noise seems more on the front .
I looked into N ratings and noise seems to be an important component ..

Something else , i found option 199 listed - battery disconnect - but cant see anything
Near the battery ?

Only thing I could find pertained to a 997 and stated you could disconnect battery via a remote switch in drivers compartment? I'm sure someone will add good info. The tires should all be n rated as far I know, are the tires worn?

Just speaking with a Cayman owner with the same option . He found that it
Was only installed until delivery , then removed and sent back to Porsche .
Standard practice .

I read that also but couldn't figure why they would list it as an option?
