Default My 993 Has a Big Brother - 2011 C4S 997.2

This past weekend I bought a 2011 C4S 997.2 from the original owner. A very nice gentleman from Portsmouth New Hampshire and the owner of several car dealerships in that area. A very smooth and fun transaction. Driving it home was interesting at 30 F in somewhat crappy weather but made it ok. It is scary fast and powerful from what I can tell - it needs tires !!

Thanks to Eris Landis here on the 993 board for doing a "flyby" on the car and the Alex and Blair at Blair-Talbot Motors in Dover NH for a thorough PPI. The car has 16,000 miles on it, was well cared for and appears brand new in every respect.

PDK and well optioned, I plan to drive it quite a bit. I'll never sell the 993 but only am driving it less than a thousand miles a year anyway and that won't change much. Fortunately I have the hangar for heated storage if I want to "pickle" it for a while.

I'll have to figure out this liquid cooling thing.

So the obligatory photos follow.....

Thanks golf.

The "slippery slope" post is one full page already. Definitely clear side lights. I like the sw.

Very nice and congrats. Love meteor gray with the sport wheels. FYI, those wheels come from factory with GT silver finish which really compliments the Meteor paint.

Gotta love a nice ***. Yes, hopefully a ten month a year plus driver.

They'll make more of these - not so the 993.

I am glad you liked it. I am a little sad I didn't have the chance to meet you when you flew in. Portsmouth is gorgeous in the summer so come back and we will get a beer.

Congrats! Gorgeous color combo. I was looking at one similar. I've owned 997.1 and 997.2 and the .2 is my favorite. Currently on hunt too.
