Gents,

I looked through the search engines but I cant believe that theres no thread for pictures of member's 997s. There are a couple of color exclusive picture threads but not one for everyone here in the 997 Owner's Forum.

So I'll start one....

997 S
-Aerokit (factory installed)
-Sport Shifter
-Ext Clr Gauges
-Bose HESP (subwoofer module coming out for weight reduction project)
-Ext Clr Belts

I saw this at 6speed. I think its tastefully done

Very nice Mike - I really like those yellow dials!

Perhaps the black 997 is using the yellow lens protection from this vendor: http://www.lamin-x.com/ Several guys over on the GT3 boards have used that product on their track cars... I think it looks really good in all of those colors... (I'm not affiliated of course.)

Please keep the 997s coming! I need to convince my wife to let me buy one as a DD AND put 30K miles per year on it (the mitigating factor)!

Blake,

Are you planning to replace your GT3 with a 997? I actually spoke to a well known figure in the PCA that pointed out the the 996 GT3 is probably the last real capable race ready car without much electronic interventions and takes a talented driver to really explore its track potentials.

Here are some shots of my 07 Targa 4S.

Ken - I love the 4S Targa. I had the pleasure to rent an '08 in Germany last month for a fun-run on the Autobahn. With the 996-on, I have always been a Coupe/Cab kind of guy... Now, the Targa is my first choice, hands down... Beautiful pictures - enjoy it!

Mike - Actually, I am looking to add a 997 as the *3rd* Porsche to the garage. The 996 GT3 was my dream Porsche, and has become my dedicated track car. It is a blast to drive, and certainly gives you a work out on the track. It is a little rough as a DD, but is such a rewarding Porsche with great feedback and plenty of power. I love the 997 because of its refinement and speed. I am envious of all of you 997 owners...

Could it be because you didn't do a good job searching?

Ben,

Where did these come from??? I swear you just posted these!!
I cant believe I missed these I searched first with "number of views" thinking it would have one of the highest. Then searched for "Pictures" + "997" with no luck. Oh well ... Thanks to all that posted

It's for sale though.

The search engine is rather primitive here. You first need to be searching only in the 997 Forum, obviously, by using the "Advanced Search" - such as it is - under the "Search This Forum" dropdown on the top right, right next to "Forum Tools." Then pick only a single keyword as your search criteria and do a "Search Titles Only" and not a 'search entire posts' type of search. The first keyword I used was "pic" and after several threads were pulled in, it was an easy matter to scan down the list and find the relevant ones I was able to find. I then did another search using the keyword "photo" and pulled in some more. Just use the singular form for the keyword - it will pull in plurals as well. Doesn't usually work the other way around. And there you have it. Took only a few minutes to do.

Oh, and we can never have enough pic threads. So post away!

This is the closest I want to get to a local courthouse....

Did they have free entertainment?

BEFORE I clay barred, triple hand polished with Menzerna, and double coated with Rejex; so it's much shinier now. Need to take newer pics. Apologize for the low-quality of these.

God I miss Maryland (grew up there). You can spot a picture of MD from a mile away.
