Something which can only be appreciated by seeing both cars in the metal I suppose.
The "wide ***" thing has been blown way out of proportion, IMO. The wide body cars are 1.73 inches, or 2.4%, wider than the narrow body cars. I guess it all depends on one's perspective.
The way everyone talks about how wide they are, you would swear that you will never be able to fit them in a 8 foot wide garage door.
Had a terrible time trying to fit this onto a 7.5 ft garage!.Will get butt shots over the week end. Thanks for the complements...It's the real deal for me.

Good one, Doc!
BTW, my comment was not meant to "dis" your car or the C4S in general. It is sweet looking and I would gladly own one if I could. Maybe some day.......
I am surprised you say that. I can spot it from a distance... before the 997.2 where the rear stripe makes it obvious... The most obvious difference is if you sit in one and look out the side mirrors. But even on the sidewalk if you just walk by it really shows. Try walking into a dealer and once you spot it, then I think you will be able to see it easier...
I've owned both narrowbody and widebody 997s and I have a tough time spotting the difference. I have to look from juuuuust the right angle and even then it's a minor and subtle difference. I don't really understand why so many people make such a big deal out of it.
No Dis taken Gota...I'm diggin it very minute...have my side view mirrors tuned to maximize the view of the hips...(what a beautifully sculpted piece of metal)...I hope not to the detriment of vision safety?!...o well. Buttshots to folow...gotta clean up again first! Thanks all!

Congrats. I also have a C4S launch car and I agree 100% about the Sport Buckets. They are a little bit of a pain to get in/out of but are great once you're there.
Edgy - I think all the launch cars were pretty loaded - PDK, nav, BT, XM, etc.
Yeah makes you wonder though why the hell they left off NAV with the launch 997S cars....like MINE! LOL
Great looking car though...almost bought one but dealer was asking too much (back in Jan 2009) and wouldn't give me enough back on my 09 Boxster snafu.
