Post Finally!

Question: How do you buy an Arena Red C4S without aerokit in CO?

Answer: Say you will only buy a silver C2S with aerokit in CA.

After a lifetime of infatuation and about 2 months of looking, I just sent off the check for my first p-car, pictured below.

I learned a few interesting things along the way.
What infatuates you on paper may change completely in the flesh.
PPI's should be mandatory. One car that looked mint needed about 3-5K in parts and service.
And most importantly, the value that Rennlist provides cannot be overestimated. Without the support, helpfulness, huge amount of data, and warm welcome I received, I probably wouldn't have found this car.

I want to specifically thank the following people.
Skip in Boulder and Jess, for lots of helpful emails and info. EJ, Greg H. and DC in Cape Cod for some great leads. DJ and Greg Fishman for putting up with lots of emails and questions. And especially Dcpmark, who took the time to go see a car and snap photos for me.

Rennlist is awesome and I hope that someday I can offer something useful back.

Now, the juicy details.
K18's
PSS-9's
Maxflo's
Corner balanced and recently 4 wheel aligned
100% clean PPI. I mean NOTHING, not even the little stuff. Amazing car.

More pictures to come after delivery.

Beautiful car.

Congratulations. Sounds like you got a wonderful buy.

BTW, I've owned P-cars for the last 15 years.

The first twelve were nothing like the last three.
Rennlist enhances the pleasure of these cars immeasurably.

The fun is just beginning...

Nice looking car and some hot-looking rims. Congratulations, Peter!

I'm partial to 993's without any aero aids. I've always been infatuated with the purity of line and litheness of the original, unadorned 993's. Hey, look, you have it!

Cheers,

Congrats <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

I agree with Mark. I too prefer the 993 lines w/out aero add-on's. Although the factory RS aero bits do look very nice.

Hope you can join us on the next Bay Area drive. Kinda lonely being the only Arena Red among 20 or so other 993s.

Hey Peter,

Congratulations! That's a great car, and it's one that I "know" quite well. The seller and I are good friends and AutoSport Werks does lots of work on my cars. I was at ASW today and saw your car on display out front, and it is truly a beauty. Have fun with it!

Wow! Great looking car. I noticed a spare set of wheels in the background. Are they already shod with track rubber?

I too am looking forward to the next SF Bay area drive. Perhaps you'd like to help organize.
