Default Saw my first C4S Today

I went to the New England auto show today looking for an automotive fix as I await delivery of my car...it was not a very good show (NO exotics) although fortunately Porche had some representation and cars to see.
Thus, I saw my first C4S (sorry for the low res pics, I took them with my Treo). I must say that the 3/4 inch extra cheek on each side is actually noticeable and confirmed what I've always known: I like a little extra meat on the butt
My dealer (Alfie) gets back from Cayman training tomorrow and I hope he is going o tell me that my car is floating across the Atlantic.

Red really is a nice color for these cars. I see that car has PSE. Was it an X51?

When's your car get here?

I really wish they kept with the rear deflector, but I'm really excited to see and drive one as soon as I can.

No X51 but it had PCCB. I thought it was sort of weird that the car there was Red with Yellow calipers (PCCB) but mine will be Yellow with Red calipers !!!!!!
As to when my car will get here...hopefully soon, it's completion date was 10/22 - it must be the special Hello Kitty upholstery option that I'm getting that's holding it up (just kidding, it was too expensive).

Have to agree with Rob.....sure wish they kept the rear reflector. Looked really sweet on the 996C4S!

I saw my first C4S on Wed. I didn't even know it was a 4 until I walked behind it. I was staring at the hips and I just could BARELY make out the extra width...but unless your searching for it, I doubt I would ever notice. Maybe if the c2s and c4s were side to side...

its only noticable side to side from the back next to a c2s...but it does look meaner from the back, but on the road most people wont notice the difference...
