The dealer's story is that he bought it for personal use for $34,600 (he overpaid) and put new brakes on it. I've got his receipt, so I know he really did lose some money. He had to sell due to his house construction - the contractor stopped work pending the next installment - so he had to sell. PPI checked out, so the fact that it was from a dealer and not a rennlister didn't bother me.

Assuming you could rationalize spending on mods, stock is good. Lets you have all the fun of upgrading vs. buying completed car. Polar silver... the color I was originally searching for.
Have fun and drive hard. Have you found the rev limiter yet???

Comparing it to my old 911 - a 90 C4 cab - I was a bit disappointed with how quiet it was. Even my wife felt that it seemed a bit girlier and less visceral. Drilling out the airbox made all the difference. I do think the 90 C4 gripped corners a bit more, but perhaps it's just that my front tires are a bit worn.
