Hey Steve,

Good seeing you again. Sorry I missed OG, and would have loved to join you two for the drive....had to get back home for kid-duty. Yeah, the 997 I thought was pretty cool, and a definite aesthetic improvement over the 996! I truly hope the build quality is an improvement, as well.

I'm not that fat either, I just forgot to hold my stomach in

According to a salesman, the silver one will be available to demo next week. The "market adjustment" on the S was $4,875. I wonder how they came up with that number?

The interior is very comfortable, seats feel great and lots of leg room. I was expecting more of the 993 coke bottle hips. I was underwhelmed by the added curves of the 997. Much improved over the 996 but nothing close to the lines of the 993. I also find the rear too humpy. The other thread that compares the lines of the two really makes this point well. I think if I was going to spend $100K for a water cooled Porsche, I'd buy a 996 turbo or GT3 before a 997S.

Great seeing everyone and putting names to faces. We Rennlisters really are a nich bunch of folks!

Same color combo at the Arlington Porsche event I was at Friday night. Loved the shifter!!

Wow, same combo today at Premier in Albuquerque. I too was not impressed with anything except the sport seats in the S. It was sold and not available for sitting in - I had no interest in checking out the non S - I'm glad though cause it makes my 993's seem much more attractive. I'm planning on a RUF in 08

Same colors in Sacramento too! After driving 1 1/2 hours to see it, my 993 looked good to me when I was done looking at the 997. It was a nice drive though!

I was kinda tempted and I really like what I saw until I walked back out ans saw mine. I was happy where I was.
It was Great meeting Fred and his wife and there was a wind at our backs blowing up our shirts inflating the frontal area! and it was great seeing Scott again. I want to thnk Steve for taking the time to take me on a drive it was fun!- even with 5 hours in my TT yesterday.
I want to echo Freds comments about the 997. It was nice but not nice enough.

chris walrod

That $4,875 is Rusnaks owners yaht payment.... I think thats how they determine 'market adjustment'...

Steve,

Nice pics of the 997, the "S" it is an impressive car. Nice to meet you Fred, good to see you again also OG. Are those pics of the 993 tt's at the entrance to Sherwood CC?

Scott

btw...all of you guys look much younger and thinner in person!

Scott,

Good eyeball.. yes the Sherwood Country Club. Awesome grounds up there. I took oldguy out for a quick, easy tour of the beautiful countryside and fun roads.

the 997s look good and I am sure they perform superbly but I agree with the others on this thread - your tt's look awesome. No way would I switch from the tt to the 997 (now a future 997 tt might be another story )
