WOW Love it.
Traction is incredible in the rain.
Ordered the new Carrera Sport Wheels but for some reason the factory changed it to Sport Design's - never mind I like them.

Hi Le Chef

Black Full Leather
Rear Park Assist
Electric Sunroof
Sport Exhaust
Sport Chrono Package Plus
Coloured Wheel Centres
Heated Seats
Sports Seats
Porsche Crest on Seats
Bose
CD Autochanger
PCM SAT NAV
19" Sport Design Wheels (had ordered new Carrera Sport Wheel)
Top Tint Windscreen


Car is fantastic. This is my 3rd 997, had an early S November 04 and then a S cab May 05 and now this. A lot of posters seem to advise against the 4WD but the wider hips really look awesome and the extra traction in slippery conditions is really noticeable when pulling out of junctions quick and of course the 4 has the "Electronic Brake Prefill" and "All Wheel Brake Assist" which are extra benefits not found on the 2WD version. I think the extra cost of the 4WD is better value than the extra cost of the Cab.

Nice ride!!
Do you know what your completion date was? As I recall we both were first in line to spec out a C4S - I know mine was completed on 10/22 but has not shipped over here yet. Thanks,...and again, nice ride!

Wow, the combination of the color and those wide hips gives the car a very sinister look. The view from straight behind on all of the 997's is just amazing. Congratulations on the new car!
