+2 on the Stelvio pass. Did it (and many more) on a Harley in 2002. I would love to do the Apls in a Porsche!

A great choice for your first Porsche. You could spend the next four weeks thinking of projects for your new toy.

+3!

I did Stelvio Pass in 2010 on a Porsche Driving Experience tour. I was driving a 2010 C2S cabriolet. It was awesome! I took this pic at the top.

Congrats on your purchase.

Congrats. You will love the C4S. The AWD is awesome and handles great (while cruising).

You have EXCELLENT taste. Or at least, taste that validates my own. Nice choice! Have fun and get it on the track!

Thanks all

Still have 4 days (depending on how you count) until pick-up on Saturday the 19th.

The longest 2 weeks in my life BUT then nothing compared to the 25 years I have been waiting all in all for the day to come from when I sat the very first time in a 911 and knew that was what I wanted until now

I will post photos of the car and the alps when weather permits and take a more active part of the forum so get ready for all the questions in due time... Can't wait

PS. My avatar is the actual car I bought

Welcome and congratulations - was 30 years between my 1st Porsche and my "someday I'll have another". Well worth the wait. She'll be in your hands soon! Enjoy!
