Hey guys, if you're looking to have the very first 991 Carrera S with a manual transmission in the U.S. then this is the car. Not a single manual transmission Carrera S has yet landed at any port in the U.S. and the Carrera S we have listed below had an on-vessel date of 03/19/2012! This means it will arrive at the port in 5 or 6 days. This car is equipped with the wheels painted in a Platinum finish and in combination with the Racing Yellow is extremely good looking. The images attached are a few sample pics so you can see what the Platinum Wheels look like on the Racing Yellow. Call, PM or email me with any questions (217) 725-2022 - geoffjr@isringhausen.com

Nice!

That 991S 7 spd MT is almost exactly how I'd want to spec my car, same color combo with similar options. But, I'm never one to be the first to buy anything.

mehoff

That cant be right.....my car is probably on the same boat ( on vessel 3/21), but if so that's pretty cool. How do you track that data, i'd love to find out where my MT lands on US deliveries.

That looks great. If it was mine, I would want PSE, but otherwise, I like it.

Carrera GT

The photos aren't the spec'd car (yellow chrono, pccb's) but more importantly having seen the yellow, it doesn't look as good as those photos.

Your dealer can get you the name of the boat and its ETA. You can generally track the port schedule plus or minus a day or so. Then another two or three days before someone puts it on a truck to deliver to the dealer. Be very careful about transportation damage (especially underneath where the low, long wheelbase cars are getting scraped on the truck.)

Now... I am looking forward to the actual first impressions of this manual version. I wonder if it will be as effusive as the 991 PDK was.

I had the first manual transmission BMW E90 325 ... at least in Atlanta. The CarMax guy seemed unimpressed by this, and refused to offer the requisite premium.

Not sure why I posted this. GLWS!

my red manual C2S arrives in Halifax this week - i should have the first manual coupe in Canada; the montreal & toronto dealors ordered their manuals in cabs for the most part.

mine is similar build but no sports suspension - PSE though & full black leather

Hey Cpa4S

You're probably right about the first 7MT in Canada. I should have my 7MT C2S hopefully in 3-4 weeks.
Car's born, just waiting a boat at Emden (I assume).

What boat is your's arriving on?

Once again, congrats. Look forward to your impressions...

GeoffJr@Isringhausen

Thanks!

I agree, this is very very close to exactly how I'd want to option one, Racing Yellow with these wheels is too cool!

If yours went on vessel 3/21 then it would be on a different boat. Congrats on getting one of the very first MT's!!

Thanks, there's always one more option, but we wanted to keep the list as low as possible on it.

No question that you know your stuff!!!

I know people are going to like it, it's the same 7-speed that is used in the PDK gearbox only with a stick so it will be good!

Interesting, you would think it would be worth at the very least a little bit more, because it's a cool story to go with the car.

Awesome!! Congrats!

How is yours spec'd out?

ADias

No doubt about it. I was not referring to the tranny per se.

rijowysock

post should say "one of the first" since that boat is full of manual trans 991's because they finished the first batch all at the same time..

GeoffJr@Isringhausen

The 7-Speed Manual has arrived!!!

Carrera GT

Sport Chrono is a bit smarter in the 997.2 (and much easier to use, still, an analog timing device ... 2012?) but what does it do for the third pedaler?

Yellow corner markers need to go in a box.

For others ordering the 911, note the "New York Taxi" vinyl cabin trim ... might be worth considering ordering full leather on a $100K+ car to keep up the cabin look and feel.

I like the photos, but I suggest redo-ing the second photo of the shifter to show the "7" not a blurry half a glimpse of the 6 ... : )

Plastic bump for the satellite antenna really is pathetic.

For daily driver buyers, the ventilated seats might sound like froufrou "how did we ever survive without getting cool air blown up our keisters?!" but really, it works perfectly and is very comfortable on a warm day rather than chilling the whole cabin. Unless you're getting the GT2 folding buckets, I'd suggest getting the ventilated seats in the Sport Plus -- not a bad seat and quick supportive for a little lateral G in the turns, might be a tad narrow in the shoulders for taller drivers (over 6'1".)

Personally, I'd spend the $1500 on something other than the sunroof. Hookers and blow would be less wasteful.

The close-up of the front wheel and brake caliper is interesting -- I'm quite liking that new "Platinum" wheel color, but $950 to change the pigment in the paint machine from silver to dark silver?

Mr Porsche needs to work a little harder on wheel bolts, brake rotors (still he same gray paint guaranteed to wash off and rust) and the exposed wheel weights in a contrasting color, the exposed air valve that could be hidden behind a spoke, etc. Even the crest should be available in silver or gray instead of the seemingly mandatory yellow gold (I imagine there is a case to be made for the heritage, etc.)

They can't design their way around having a hole and a plug in the front of the car? The toe hook has been redesigned, why not go the extra yard and make it go in through the vent or have the front air dam removable in the rare case of needing to toe?

Shiny plastic nipples. 'nuf said.

They still print the Monroney as an absurdly useless, oversized document that says a lot, but tells you bugger all ... and glue it so it has to be torn and then ignorantly folded by someone at the dealership no matter how many times you say "leave it to me, I can take it off with steam and preserve it with my car." According to Wikipedia, the law stipulates the Monroney can only be removed by the consumer and a $10,000 fine and 1 year jail applies to each violation.

I wonder how much further the 911 could progress without DOT "regulations" and nonsense EPA restrictions that let school buses belch black clouds of diesel exhaust particulate on kids, enforce fierce penalties on tiny motorcycle engines and fuss over the color of corner markers, the height of bumpers that are still going to kill a pedestrian or slide under any 18 wheeler, and we have mini-vans and 10 mpg pick-ups idling in stop-n-slow commute traffic twice a day (and numerous people commuting between major cities to find menial labor employment.) The US auto industry, the US government and its oil industry overlords are stuck the 80's and refusing to budge. How I got from Racing Yellow and Platinum wheels to window stickers to government corruption, I dunno, I guess it's Romney-blow-back already ... : |
