You're working w/David? Cool

I see your Targa on the incoming list.

We have two Meteor Grey 4S tips coming in on the same shipment.

We're the last dealer in the line. First they drop off cars on the east coast. Then the boat has to go through the canal. They drop the cars off in San Diego and they get trucked up here.

Yikes! That is ugly. Hopefully they fix those tail lights and crappy reflector on the next gen.
Actually I am glad they screwed the 997 up, saves me a lot of money.

stoppie-best of luck on your promotion-are you in mass?

what is the msrp of those pag c4s launch cars? in nj, it seems like all of the c2s launch cars came thru in racing green without nav but with pdk for well over 100k. i am tall, and those seats remind me of getting in and out of a vette with the side lip-like a lot of work. in addition, some of these c4s cars are getting close in price to the turbos. i would imagine that there will not be a supply problem with the c4s cars, unlike the turbo coupes, but i don't know if i am right or wrong. with the sport chrono, i see 2 different kind of sport buttons-what is with that? is that the launch control? thanx for the answers.

Hey Doc!!!


No, I'm from new england but i'm outta cleveland oHIo. LOL

C4S's are like around $111ish. The launch car is pimped out with full leather and the GT2 style seats. How tall are you? I figured out a trick getting in and out of them.

When you get in, you place one hand on the outside, lower portion of the seat. that way you won't bump into it. And visa versa getting into it.

1 is sport chrono, the other is the new PASM sport suspension. On the PDK equipped cars it gives you a 'track inspired' fuel/transmission map. Very aggressive on the up and down shifts.

Way cool.

Funny, punched in the VIN and it was a car we sold new.

Ohhh. I think we ended up with 13, or 12.. total. 3 for us at Porsche. 2 fer me.

We cringe when we see Jag and Range Rover trade ins. NEVA worth even close to what people think.....

stoppie-i am 6'7"-i am comfortable in the turbo, but i bet that those seats would require me to call 911 to get out. after to start putting in a few options, you wind up in turbo land. just food for thought for someone who is going to spend 115k on a c4s-another 15k gets you into the turbo, which i think does better on resale than the c4s. what you think?
