I'm on my 2nd 987 Spyder.
I was original owner of Arctic Silver 2011. Car was PDK. Loved it but missed manual gear box.
2nd 987 Spyder is Carrara manual stripper A/C & Radio delete, buckets, short throw shifter and PSE.
This is my favorite car to drive. It is so light & precise and the gearing is just right. Not sure what other car around beats this when price is factored in given the drivability, looks, rarity etc.
Just seeing this post. I ordered my Spyder to my spec and took delivery in 2010. I still have it and now have clocked 75,000 miles!! All have been a joy. There is a sweetness to this car. It was my daily driver, but a GT4 has now assumed that role. Attaching a couple of photos from an epic drive with Pete Stout, featured in 000 magazine.
I am the original titled owner but the car languished for two years in a bizarre legal dispute between Warren Buffets personal assistant and Porsche of Omaha. She bought the car by driving by the dealership and liking the look and made a phone call. Dead of Winter the car sat for months and when finally driven the dreaded " where is the power top button" reared its ugly head.
When the story was related to me it was comical, pathetic and a fantastic buying opportunity for me to buy the car with 73 miles on it at a fantastic price.
Anytime I think I am not driving it enough <5k miles and driving my other Porsches I make myself place it in the garage where I have to drive it and that impulse utterly goes away. My wife loves the car and even though I am getting a 2018 GT3 I will not be getting rid of this anytime soon.
