Default Back in a 911!

After a brief (2 month) dalliance with a Dodge Challenger SRT-8 (don't ask;-) I'm very happily back behind the wheel of a P-car!

Found this mint 2007 C2 that drives and looks like new and couldn't be more pleased.

Being a sick and twisted individual I'm thinking BBS LM-Rs, lowering springs, Alcantara steering wheel and shift ****...

Very nice ride. Man those wheels look nice. I keep thinking of swapping mine but I think now I'll hold.

Welcome back ! Love the silver/black.

I to have strayed in the past but always yearn for the P-car. There really is no substitute.

Mandatory pics of the mods.

Congrats NinetyOneC2!

I was randomly thinking about your "old" car the other day (was dreaming of 18" Speedlines on a Slate Grey 964). I was wondering if you were going through withdrawal symptoms...NOT anymore if you were.

Great buy!

Thanks.

I really liked the 964 and if I had the space and means to have a few cars then I would have kept it. To my mind...it's the one to watch. That said, the car I had was great mechanically but had a hit and, frankly, would never be an appreciating asset. Not that the 997 is...

I'll get another 964 as soon as I can and It'll definitely be a WB C4 or a Speedster.

The Speedline replicas were an expensive proposition...that I don't regret one bit!

Welcome back! Nice looking car.

You were Porscheless for 2 months? I have been Porscheless for 37 months and 1 day. I hope to put that streak to an end in the near future.

I was once Porscheless for 18 months, and it sucked!

Welcome back!

If you do decide to go for the BBS's, I might be interested in the current wheels.

When I saw the subject line I was hoping it was YOU!
