Why no sport chrono? (Just asking, not trying to be offensive.)
There was a very nice and very well priced car at my dealer that had everything (more or less) that I wanted except for sport chrono and I passed and went the custom order route. It cost me at least 6 months and some extra money. What do you think?

You're not kidding. After my 06 997, I got a BMW 550i sport. It felt like a boat compared to the 911, even though it is probably pretty good in its own right. The 911 fits like a glove though.

Too bad they priced it so wrongly!

In the two years since I sold my 997.1 to get "responsible", I finally pulled the trigger on a new 2009 C4S. I got lucky and found a new 2009 C4S with the color I wanted and all of the major options I wanted: PSE, Ipod, Bluetooth, Nav and Bose.
Just got loaded by FEDEX Auto Transport today! Hopefully, it will be here next week.
I'll post more pics when I receive it. Can't wait.

Funny. I switched from a 997.1 to a BMW 135iC last year to get more "responsible". On paper the BMW was the right car for me, BUT I really miss my 997. Numbers on paper cannot tell you what you are really missing. Hopefully I can switch back some time soon. Just cannot justify taking the hit on depreciation on the BMW just yet.

Agreed, on a 6-speed it does nothing for performance. However, on a car with PDK, it does alter the shifting maps in Sport and Sport Plus.

Wow, beauty! I have owned a couple of white sports cars including a 1998 C4S and it's a great color.
I see you got PSE too. I have never been a big exhaust person, but since getting my 2005 997 in January I have been thinking more and more about a PSE.

I absolutely love my PSE. The sound is amazing. Probably wouldn't have paid the extra on a new car if I hadn't heard one. Certainly would not buy a new 911 without one in the future.
