I am pretty excited. I go to pick the car up tonight! I am trying to make sure that it will fit properly in my garage so I don't bang it up on day one!

Very, very nice.

Club coupe is a sweet deal, too bad they didn't get the manufacturer's defects out until cars 49 and 50.

Very sweet car. You made the right move, everybody will be much happier and you'll still end up a day or two at the glen.

Thanks KJ. I didn't really know Darrell or his wife before I purchased the car from them, but they were both super nice, and I could not be happier. And . . . it fits in my garage.

For everyone's future reference, although the 996 and the 997 have the same wheelbase and same overall length, it appears that the 997 is about 1 1/2 inches or so shorter from the center of the rear axle to the edge of the bumperette.

That's because it hasn't been around long enough for it's butt to sag!

Great purchase TD!
