No worries, I was actually harassing R_Rated due to a recent thread where Mr. Sticky expressed some pretty strong opinions about the NA motor. I'm a 3.0tt owner who loves it. Yes, I wish it sounded like the NA motor, but personally prefer the torque of the new motor. The .2 base performs on par with .1S, it was an easy decision for me, plus I tend to listen to music.

Never intended to imply you never revved it beyond 5k. It would be rather sad if that was true.

What I was trying to say is that it's hard to keep a 911 in that high of a rev range consistently, especially when just tooling around town.

Those are factory fresh OE Sport Techno wheels. They are awesome. They can be in other colors, but those are the standard color, very similar to GT Silver.

It seems like a very forgiving color. Don't think it can ever match the sexiness of a black 911, but it doesn't show all the warts either.
