Ordered my 991 today
March build for April delivery. White S coupe, black full leather, PDK, sport chrono, sunroof, sport wheel w paddles, sport exhaust, power sport seats, PCCB's, premium pkg +, no PDCC (not sure on this one). It's my 5th white 911 since '96 and the best part is that none of my patients, staff or friends can ever tell when I get a new car (some of my car-guy friends know but that's ok). Cost more than my '05 997 turbo- oh well, the price of progress.

As far as cost PCCBs surely didn't help, but I've heard and read time and time again that the steel brakes are magnificient enough?

Tell me about the 5 whites! I've never done the same color twice although I'm considering another PTS Blue Turquiose this time I love that color so much. Does it ever feel redundant or when you haven't done it are you sorry?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Tom

997 Turbo first model year was 2007...?? 05 was still 996.
But we get the point. Porsche is very proud of these cars. Price is getting off the charts, especially with all the must have options.
Congrats. I was just invited by my dealer to a private black tie premier event to see the first 991 to arrive later this month. Sounds like fun. I asked my wife if she wanted to go. She said my car looks and drives like new, but she could use a new Cayenne.

Congrats! Can't fault your build at all. So you couldn't resist getting it now, perhaps to have waited a year or two till porsche worked out the bugs?

Congratulations! Sometimes waiting is half the fun!

OK, about the Whites. It helps that I've always liked white cars but it does get boring after a while. After a few black cars though, white is so forgiving and rarely shows dirt, never shows swirls and small scratches. I have a referral based dental practice and [B]I would get a lot of sh*t from my dental friends if they knew how many cars I go through. [/B]Alwaysgetting another white 911 allows me to fly under the radar. I'm known as a car guy anyway but I feel less obvious getting a new plain white car.
