Default Our new C4S!

Thanks to everyone here and especially the SEARCH function which allowed me to do a lot of research and arrive at the right choice for us.

Today we traded in our '05 Carrera for this low mileage '06 C4S. These wheels only stayed on the car long enough to get the car home and then up in the air where they were swapped for a pair of regular silver lobsters. In brief:

2006 Black C4S
11k Miles
Full Leather
Adaptive Sport Seats
Heated Seats
Sport Chrono
Bose
Navigation
Painted Wheels and Center Caps
Carbon Fiber Package
Guards Red Seatbelts

Next stop, a full detail with my newly acquired Zaino products! Anyone interested in the Black Lobsters with new looking PS2's, feel free to PM me.

Congratulations. I really like the red calipers and brake lights against the all black. Your garage looks terrific too!

Default Another pic...

Thanks everybody. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of the black lobsters, so they are for sale (once I get a chance to post them in the classifieds). I put my 18" winter wheel/tire set up on, but I'm going to need spacers to keep the 265's in the back looking like they aren't lost in the wheel wells.

So far the C4S is a night and day difference, especially since I'm coming form a standard Carrera. I'll post a few more impressions once I drive the car today.

Bob- Yes this is the car from New Country. My wife and I picked it up yesterday and the delivery was professional, but the dealership was swamped (again). If anyone is interested, they had a 2005 Carrera S launch car for sale with 9,000 miles on it for ~72k, but it had been repainted on the passenger side.

Silver's back on:

You will love the C4S, I too made a change from the standard Carrera and feel I made a good decision.
Best of Luck with it.
