These are first pics I've seen of the C2. Thanks for posting it! I'm in the same boat. I ordered a C2 as well. I simply couldn't justify the $14K despite the added features.

The agate gray looks amazing and I was the only other color I considered on my car.

Congratulations on an amazing looking car.

I'm thinking of the same as it is an expensive car, and the options add up fast! Please tell me if you have any regrets. The C2 feels quite quick right? Are there times when you feel it is underpowered or lacking in thrust?

My feeling is that aside from the "S" label on the back, for my spirited but non competitive driving style, the C2 would probably be just fine. I am interested to see what you think.

Some more pics with Nikon 300s and Nikkor AF-S 80-200mm f2.8 after waxing it and Rejex on the wheels this morning. Last two pics have a little of the brown color in Agate. Not as much as my Slate Grey 997. A few impressions after about 130 miles, so glad I got PDK. No clunkiness, very well thought out software. Still getting used to the side mirrors, wish they had just kept the ones from the 996. Much more of a GT car. I like the rev drop with the seven speed on the highway.
