Looks like that photo was taken in the lot of the old Carson's store?

Yes, I think that's right. It's now an empty huge department store space in the large open-air mall just off the Edens at Skokie Blvd.

Dragging up an old thread because I traded my Black Edition 991 for a RY 992 C2S.

So far, very impressed with the engine power, confused on all the programing of the PCM, and really pleased with the color. Have an appointment to tint the windows, to add some black back into the car.

Bold choice, great car!

Stone guards add a bit of black to the large amount of RY on the sides . . .

Everything is black leather. No accents at all, but very subtle.

I didn't order it, so got was they had specified. Seats are 18 ways though, which I would not have bought but like.

IMHO, Porsche are more "stealth wealth" than other cars... I have had Lamborghinis and Ferraris in bold colors, but I like Porsche in the more classic colors (the GT cars notwithstanding).

Loved my 4S in RY. Now sold on due to Turbo S arrival. If my Carrera had not been in yellow then my Turbo would have been for sure.

Unless you are going to track the car a LOT, the PCCB is a waste of money. Remember, they don’t modulate as well and they don’t stop your car in a shorter a difference. It’s all about avoiding brake fade after REPEATED track work.

An enthusiast shouldn’t give a damn about what others might think. ‘Stealth wealth?’ I ordered RY because I like the way it looks. No apologies - for my choice of colors or my wealth. End of story.
