Went for a spirited ride in Jim M's C2S last year in the TX Hill Country and loved it. Stopped by a few Porsche dealers in our travels looking at the various 991 models and decided to either order a PTC GTS or find a new or slightly used 50th. Spotted a beautiful Graphite Grey 50th recently in LA and the wife & I said that's it. Remembered reading a post here about Cyrek turning in his 50th G G loaner while awaiting his GT3. I then contacted Cyrek regarding this car and he said he said it was in perfect condition, thoroughly enjoyed it, and regretted having to turn her back in. Just found out the dealership received our wire transfer and will now arrange shipping from Iowa to the TX Coast. T

Beautiful! Is X51 not on the options list because it is standard?

Good choice Tony. So it only took one ride in my car to convince you! You won't be sorry, they are fabulous cars.

Thank you x 8. Chuck, IIRC all of the US 50th cars did get the X51 package. Jim, that ride in the Hill Country did make the decision easier Other factors were the Hertz Day rental, larger dimensions inside & out of these newer 911's (needed for my big goofy *** 6'3" 220lbs), superb interior ergonomics, beautiful crafted interior/exterior styling, and of course more power. PDX991, yes this car has the ventilated 18 way seats, and all other options are listed in OP if interested. Car has never been titled and full factory warranty starts when this beauty is in our driveway. Cyrek was kind enough to answer all of my PITA questions so far, re: q:no front license plate holes correct ? a: correct, Q: any scratches ? a: no, q: has car always been garaged ? a: yes, q: have you tracked this car ? a: no, q: can you send me pics and would it be OK to post them on RL, a: yes.

So good to see the car stay in rennlist family, highly optioned too. I am 6'4 and even have enough room for my tall 8 yr old behind me. Enjoy.

Wow, beautiful build!

Did not know this option: "german first aid kit". It's not on the configurator or is it?
And if not, are there more (non-Porsche Exclusive) options that you can order, and is there info available besides at a dealership?

I'm smitten every time I look at a 991-50, especially one like you have. Gorgeous 911. You have excellent taste.

Just like the 928's in regard to rear seat room.
