I wrote the (deposit) check, carefully considered and selected my options, and dutifully took my place in line for a Black/Black 997 Carrera S coupe. It's an "October build" for a "December delivery." Every calendar I look at says that's going to be six, long months.

So, I'm asking for anyone who's got some "hero photos" of black 997s to link me up. I need a little (lotta) something to hold me over. Thanks in advance. I am very excited! This will be my sixth Porsche, but my very first brand new one.

 

not an s but mine is nice!

 

Nice shine, rss997!

 

I don't think I could handle that long a wait - but, its definitely worth it, you will love the car!!!

Here's mine:

 

Nice ride. I think you lowered it the perfect amount. Coilovers or springs? What kind?

 

jcnesq - Great tag IXIXVII 997 !

 

X51 will be available for the 06 builds correct?

 

I just ordered my car, 3 weeks ago. I got lucky, someone backed out and I got there slot, my car should be here in about a month. It's a good thing b/c it is killing me to wait that long and I know myself, I would have never lasted 6 months. Good luck.

 

Couple more

 

Thank you to rss997, jcnesq, merbesfield, and Carlos from Spain. Great shots! I ordered the Sports Design Wheels, like jcnesq, which was the hardest option choice to make IMO. They look great in jcnesq's pics, and I know they look even better in person. Nice use of the Roman Numerals, too.
Yes, six months is a long time to wait, but the payoff should be more than worth it. Besides, I've got my '88 911 to drive until then. Thanks again, everyone!

 

Leader, are you saying that the new wheels that are offered are the same as the Champion Monolites shown on jcnesq's car? If so that sucks b/c I would have ordered them for sure. Let me know, my car just went into pre-production and it is too late for me, but my dealer will be getting a call on Tuesday.

 

I lowered with h&R springs only............

 

On closer inspection - those are NOT the Porsche optional Sports Design wheels on jcnesq's car. But they're very similar. Sorry for the confusion.
