Default Long time lurker...

Finally picked up my first Porsche. A 911 has been on my wish list since I was about 12 years old or so.

Found the right one in Aug. '07

CPO 2005 Launch C2S

On the truck from Boston to Seattle



With new iForged Aeros ( I wanted to highlight the PCCBs )



No major mods planned - just ordered some R888s in OEM sizes for the occasional lapping day/auto-x.

Thanks for the kind words fellas! I'm loving the car. Looks great - sounds great with the PSE (added by the previous owner) and the full leather is quite luxurious for a car with this kind of performance. I do wish it was about 300lbs lighter though.

Really nice. What's on the steering wheel......some kind of aluminum trim?

y'all are too kind. The brakes are fantastic indeed.

I changed the wheel to the RAID 340mm w/ alumalook accents. The OEM wheel just felt too skinny and the diameter felt too big. Sorry for the cell phone pic.

Does that steering wheel bolt right on or did you need the adapter? Would be great with a real camera picture if you get a chance. Agree about the factory wheel.....to skinny.

I guess you won't sleep much tonight. Congratulations, and the wheels look great. Having a set of Iforged Seneka's put on as we speak. Enjoy my friend.
