Now THAT is a nicely optioned 911 in my book! The only thing it's missing is the PSE. The natural leather option is largely overlooked, but when you have it, you just can't go back to anything less. While my posts show that I'm a huge fan of the 991, the 997 C4S has the best looking **** end in water-cooled land. It's the saggy rear that makes those hips look even wider than the bulbous 991 which reminds me of the 928.
Amazing ride and an even more amazing story. Thanks for sharing with us your piece of joy!

Really beautiful car. Just the right amount of carbon fiber on the highest quality leather (natural). For more rich and true to color pics try shooting later in the day when the sunlight isn't SO INTENSE. You'll see the richness of the colors come out. It will be stunning. And welcome! I purchased mine almost 5 years ago and still love it. And nothing like driving a great manual trans. Have fun!

I prefer the feel and resistance of the clutch on the two C4S's I drove. The Turbo was plenty fun to punch at any speed, you really feel it throw you back. I think what really did it for me in choosing the C4S was the traditional look, reminds me of the 993 which I really like. Also with the 991 it seems that they are taking a slow departure from the traditional proportions, I wanted to get a good example of something that I will hang on to that stays truer to tradition. As well this one was nicely optioned to be just the right amount of different to me. The Turbo was just straying a little too far for my first 911 in the appearance dpt. That being said, it'd be a fun second addition or a GT3.

Congrats on a great car! Now I'm even more pumped...later today I pick up my new 2011 C4S, giving up my 2008 C4S. 997.2 feels like a whole different car. I'll get pics up this weekend on a new thread.

I love it, especially the deviated carpet. That is the first carbon wheel I love, usually don't like them. Any idea on the sticker price on this car? it is loaded up with some pricey options.
