Hi everyone. Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Nick and I just picked up my first Porsche. I've been periodically lurking these forums for a while but now I'm ready to say hi!
I've been involved in the Chicago area automotive enthusiast culture for a while -- up to this point, exclusively with Japanese tuner cars. I grew up watching my dad race Toyotas in the 80's and 90's which influenced me to get a 1995 Toyota Celica as my first car once I got my driver's license. From there I've meddled with other marques, most recently a Subaru which made 609hp/582tq at the wheels. As fun as it was (and as much money as I've poured into these projects), I've never had a car that really "did it" for me, but I'm hoping that this next venture will be different. I sold the Subaru nearly 3 years ago and I was planning to jump right into another project, but some life happened and I had to put my hobbies on the back burner for a while. 3 years later and I felt I was finally in a position to get back into something fun. I was looking at a lot of different potential cars, but I decided that the time was right for me to buy that "poster on my bedroom wall" car. I spent most of my childhood with the image of a Polar Silver 993 Carrera 4 hanging above my bed and I'm so excited to finally have my own 993 now.
I'm looking forward to learning from you all and having fun with this project. Cheers!
Here it is. 1996 Carrera 4s. 94k on the odo
If anyone was curious: here's a few pics of my Subaru that I sold
I was told arctic silver is a just a little faster.
Yes. Maybe. But those techs practice building the silver ones. Once they pass, after a few year apprenticeship, they are allowed to craft the Arena Reds.

The POLAR Silver examples made in early 1995 we so fast you had to pay a premium to get one painted that color in 1996,7 and 8.
