Thank you all!

Shot with a Nikon in manual mode, early morning with a bit of on/off sunlight hiding behind the clouds. It could be the camera or the tricky lighting.

Actually I apologize, I blame the ****ty monitor I have at work. On my home computer the pics look excellent and very much a true representation of Sapphire Blue. Nice pics!

Thanks! I'm a huge fan of black wheels, they look awesome on SB.

Very nice C4s! Colors and build are all GO. Enjoy in good health.

And yes, the tire scrub at slow speed and cold while turning is normal.

Still love the color and wheel combo.

I kind of wish I would have made that choice on the new car I have on order.

I've been lurking around Rennlist for some time and huge thanks to all of you for sharing all your experiences. I wish I had your inputs before buying this one and if I did, It would have been a GTS. Here's the build sheet: 991420 911 Carrera 4S N1 Sapphire Blue Metallic AG Standard Interior in Black 030 PASM Sport Suspension 176 Sport Exhaust System 250 Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) 427 20" Carrera Classic Wheels 446 Wheel Center Caps with Colored Porsche Crest 529 SportDesign Side Mirrors 541 Seat Ventilation (Front) 603 Bi-Xenon™ Headlights incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System 640 Sport Chrono Package 653 Electric Slide/Tilt Sunroof in Glass 840 SportDesign Steering Wheel P06 Power Sport Seats (14-way) with Memory Package P3D Premium Package i.c.w. Power Sport Seats (14-way) P3H BOSE® Audio Package ZAB Ornamental Porsche Crest I picked this up at Porsche of Fairfield in CT. I can't believe how amazing and addictive the drive is! I just exploit every excuse to fire this baby up, drop/pickup kids from school, groceries, Saturday early morning drive before kids wake up! 100% of my driving is in Sports Mode. Needless to say the Summer tires are not that great right now. I feel my fronts getting dragged sideways at extreme turns coming out of parking. I hope thats normal. I'm using this as a daily driver now, rain or shine
Congratulations. We've got the same car w the exact build w the exception of the added park assist w rear camera and premium package plus.

You made a good choice. The GTS may be a better car in terms of performance but for everyday driving, it's essentially not going to be missed.

Having a lowered car due to sport PASM is an added treat.

Cheers!
