I had my M6 4 wheel aligned on the last set of front tires from my local indy. Cost was only 50 and what a huge difference. The car totally handler better, etc. If necessary, it will be done there. The new car is special, I wanted something out of the ordinary. i was originally looking at a C4S cab and there was one that was paint to sample, but the atlas C2S cab had the options I wanted.
I know so far they have upgraded the PCM, roadtested by Chris (not 500miles!), some upgrade on the PDK. They found my car has SCP plus...don't know alot about that. The car was obtained from another dealer. It has alot of options, I know it has the ipod, universal adapter,xm, etc. It doesn't have PSE or LSD? I know the Ventureshield was perfect from what he told me and I also added the Lojack, wasn't sure if needed, but not expensive to install and it's there forever. Thanks for all of the input! Now, bring it on!

You will love the Sport and Sport Plus with the PDK. Huge difference from non-Sport mode and it's a lot of fun!!!

Just befoe you go to sign the papers....pen to paper lift up the pen sit back in the chair and say...uh yeah I don't know about this deal. LOL!
Congrat's on the car...you will love it...it handles great, much more power than the 05-08 C2S just simply a well built sports car.

I did. I ended up getting a 911! I almost went the S route, but in the end decided to save 200 plus a month. i wanted to own two cars, so in the winter months I have a nice ride when there is 20 inches of snow on the car to drive around in. Read red 4x4
My car has PCM NAV, IPOD, pwr seat, bluetooth, self dimmers. Basically a nicely loaded base 911. And an amazing price to boot. Glad your m6 deal worked out, your new car will be beautiful. I jumped at Arctic Silver. I think Atlas is an amzign color. Top five for me!

UPGRADE?! The Stoppie upgrade is to 'drive it like you stole it' 
j/k!
We checked alignment. check
Clear Corners.check.
Downloaded new PDK software. check
Venture Sheild on. check ( it comes pre-cut, so no cutting on site is done)
Being detailed now. check.
Final inspection after it's detailed by me. Stay tuned!
Awaiting to hear back from the transportaion. ditto.
iPod connection works perfectly.

You said that sort of like Le Chiffre from Casino Royal.
So this is what my Master Tech Jim McFarland said:
"It's NOT a P-TECH, recall or open claim issue. PAG/PCNA downloads the latest version of software in to our system, and when we hook it up to the car it either takes it (the download) or not. Think of it as an update you recieve for windows. Your system either had the latest version or not."
So my guess is; becase Porsche does not offer any cut off dates; if you have an earlier PDK, tell them *your dealer* to hook it up and see if it takes it.
Good luck.
(In this scenario, Dr. Kerns car was build in December of 08, for reference).
