Default My first 911...AWESOME!! Of course with pics.
Some garage pics of my newly acquired 997C2S. Purchased from TX and now residing in MD. Looks nice sitting next to the M3. Totally different driving experience compared to the BMW, "raw and very fast" is the basic difference. Apologies for the dirty garage

Installed the "new" Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires yesterday..kind of greasy at the moment...we'll see how they compare after a few hundred miles.

Anyone interested in a mint '05 e46 M3 (garage kept/fully loaded/6MT)? Let me know..just don't drove her enough after getting the P-car!

Looks great! Exactly what I am looking for. How many miles and how much if you don't mind... Thanks.

Very nice! Congrats!

BTW, your description of your car in your sig is a little misleading. The "Supple Leather" option includes the front and read seats. While you have "Supple Seather" you do not have Full Leather.

We were all a "Newbie" at one time. Lots of knowledge here and most of the guys are very willing to share their knowledge and help.

Have not done head to head. 911 feels much faster in the mid-range, sounds better, much better on the curves. The M is more luxurious/comfortable/quieter/better ride quality. It's a 2005.
The M also shifts smoother/faster..maybe I am not used to the clutch take up on the Porsche yet.
e46 M3 is still a legendary car with a magical engine especially at high revs...will be a sad day when I let her go

I also have a e46 m3. The c2s just pulls more and I would say even more comfortable, the m3 has a harsh ride.
