Hello 997 forum,

I just purchased a 2009 997 C2S this weekend. It is a 2009 launch car, Porsche Racing Green on Tan, PDK, sports chrono with 1450 miles. This is my second Porsche, I currently have a 1989 928 GT with 75000 miles. The 997 is a completely different beast and I am enjoying it immensely. Pictures will be forth coming.
