Default 17 years, 109K - PERFECT
Just wanted to share my experince with my 997.1 C2S Coupe Aero - hard to believe it has been 17 years since I bought her, 109K miles and still going very strong. I guess I will count myself lucky, I have always had great luck with all my 911's throughout the 40 years of driving them. My C2S Aero has been perfect, no issues, so many track and driving events, it acts as my DD. So many modification and still she runs perfect. I still believe this is one of the best cars ever. I wish you all the best :-)
Just gave her a good cleaning

Butter Wax Results

HRE wheels have held up great -

Very nice! Always nice to see people enjoying their P-cars.

Great Blue color.

Looks aggressive sitting still.

Yeah, it looks horrible for a 17 year old car.

I suspect these are the used towels awaiting washing. OP seems to know how to care for this beauty.

Not that I think the paint looks good or bad, but pictures of paint are pretty meaningless vs seeing irl.

Was just an off the cuff comment and not a dig at OP or the car.

The pot is probably "fake concrete" - made out of some polymer resin/plastic ...

Had the same GT3 hood vent and tail lights on my 7.1 aero kit car, but I did not have that lovely paint color! Keep enjoying. May I suggest painting the HREs in factory weissgold (white gold) when they are due for a refresh? Would look even more amazing.

Would you like Indica or Sativa comments?


Beautiful Aero, looks like it is very well cared for, especially for its age and mileage. Shoot for 200K!!
