seriously.
Typically the best thing to do, is to sit down, think about it, have a coffee, make your choice, then go for it.
Although the example they had on daily planet was talking more specificallly about couches for their example
I wish I could see some good pics of a white 997 with flamenco red interior. It would help alot with my decision. It's difficult for me to make a decision when I've never seen all of the options. Thank you for helping to clear the fog for me.

You will not regret the decision to do so.

Attend PDE..it will push you over the edge
An ultimate test drive!!
I was going to do PDE after I placed an order, to help keep my spirits up during the long wait. You're right though. PDE would surely help in the decision process and bring events to life.

I just did some gawking on autotrader.com. There were a few white with terracotta 997s on there but not one 997 or even 993 Porsche with Flamenco Red interior.

I confess Lori, it was me

Lori,

Just go for it. You won't be sorry. What are you leaning towards right now?

Hello Snoopy,
How are you?
Right now I'm leaning toward white with terracotta. I wish I could see one in person. What do you think about those colors?

Sounds nice. I have never seen the Terracotta in person though. Would it be a cab?

We should have someone P-shop a white car with flamenco red...
I think it'd look great, like the old 356 colour scheme, it'd be SWEET!
In fact you could get pearlescent white...
now i'm getting ahead of myself.

Lori, just do it, just jump on it.
If you want terracotta however get the two tone
now that'd be cool, black / flamenco red two tone...

Originally I wanted a coupe but these days a cab sounds nice to me. It will still probably be a coupe.

That would be great! I remember seeing a pic of a grey Carrera GT with flamenco red leather interior. I've since seached for it but couldn't find it.

Thanks to evryone for your opinions.

I've heard other say that you should see cocoa in person before getting it because the leather appears to have veins in it. Maybe someone here who has cocoa can chime in. I think a white coupe would look really nice.

Lori,
You dont know what your missing!! The best part is enjoying
the choices you made. There is nothing like one on one time
with a pcar that you had made for you.There really isnt to many
mistakes one can make in ordering a 997. The only one that comes
to mind is waiting and delaying the true enjoyment of ownership.

Craig
