The alcantara wheel is very nice. I feel that on hot days, my sweaty palms would destroy it!!

PDK is an option and Sport Chrono for PDK is a must option if you get PDK....PASM and PSE are standard on Carrera S and GTS. Sport version of PASM is an option though.

You wouldn't think the small difference in ride height would be noticeable with Sport PASM but it is.

I love this car! I see you bought it at Fletcher Jones...I'm not sure if it's the same car that was at Newport Porsche a couple of months ago when I bought mine, but if it is, I looked at it and thought seriously about buying it (but I ended up going with meteor grey)...in any case, it's great to see that the car ended up with someone who's going to appreciate everything about it. Enjoy, and I'll see you on Ortega!

Congrats. Beautiful.

Stopped at a local dealer down the shore here and test drove a Turbo S. The power was amazing but the naturally aspirated GTS is plenty and more responsive. I'm a fan of naturally aspirated Carreras.

Curiously they only had one or two 991's in. Said they sell 4 or 5 a month.

The salesmen did say he has seen the values on 997 's hold very well and said they are in demand.

Jackson22,
Yes at Fletcher Jones, but in Nor-Cal. It's funny, that you picked up meteor grey, because I think the my dealer had another meteor grey and I ended up choosing the white one. Perhaps one of these days when I visit Newport, we'll run into each other! Enjoy yours as well!!
