I would also recommend the sport/sport plus package. I think it is called “sport Chrono Package”. Mine did not come with it but I added it on. What a difference!
Which system did you put on from FVD? They had the best sound for my 987.1 cayman...loved the sound. Now I’m debating Gundo/Sharkwerks or FVD. Don’t want to change headers and cats. Can you share a video clip? I’ve looked for sound clips for FVD but can’t tell what mods the cars have or which particular exhaust is installed.

We have about 60k to spend on the car and were wondering what this really gets us. Is it worth it to get a newer car or is the 997 going to provide the experience we both feel like a 911 should feel like. Again, this is just what we both had in our heads of what a 911 should be, and combined we put about . The s2k is awesome, but the harsh ride is starting to wear on him, and the lack of torque on me.

Things we want:
6MT
C2S
Aerokit

Things to avoid:
Silver
White
The aero front is $1500 from SunCoast, if that's what it takes. Looks wise, I don't think it's an improvement over the stock version, but that's my opinion. Two years ago I found a 2011 C2S black/black, CPO, 6 sp, coupe, 18k mi., on line at a dealer 500 mi away. It had everything I wanted and the dealer said they would deliver it on approval. I bought it sight unseen and never looked back. I love that car. I was told that there may have been as few as 100 C2Ss with 6 sp sold in the US that year, so finding what you want may take some time. Best of luck.
