The only thing "wrong" with it is the ridiculous steering wheel. It may look pretty, but aluminum where I put my hands - really? Plan to address that post haste.

Spend the 1-2 k on the new Carrera Sport steering wheel. It's awesome.

And you may not fully appreciate this Stef but the full leather option in YOUR (Yes - your) car is going to SMELL super awesome. There is nothing like a full Porsche leather interior. Enjoy.

Great looking car, congrats man. The 997-2 is really the way to go, if you've got the cash of course!
I agree about the Aluminum steering wheel. How about the carbon fiber option? Love the look.

Well, the delta between the '09 and various .1S wasn't that great - witness the car that started the thread. I got hooked on vented seats when I test drove a car for Zeus - thanks dude :-) , and obviously there are other improvements.
DME came back squeaky clean. 150 range 1 over revs, that's it.
The later wheels have less non leather, so that helps, but in the end I like all leather. Considered alcantara, but that seems to be a crapshoot. Good chance I'll be sweating more when driving a cab - I tend to be top down every minute I can - so that didn't bode well for alcantara longevity.
So we're working out the final details, he's gonna take my Z4 in trade. With any luck, this weekend...

Congrats! Love the Ruby Red. Agree with you on the steering wheel - looks kind of cool, but it would get very hot in the sun in a cab. Be more appealing in a coupe - shouldn't have any trouble selling it.
Let us know when you get it and what you think after delivery!!!

crossing 'i's, dotting 't's. No wait... Anyhow, getting close!
Oh no, they've removed it from autotrader and their site - I can't look at it anymore
