Hi all,
I've been a steady reader for the last few weeks and wanted to share my excitement of being a new 997 owner.
I recently picked up a CPO'd 2009 C2S w/ PDK, Sport Chrono, and PSE and couldn't be happier. I've already set up a clear-bra install, ordered high-temp brake fluid, and picked out track pads and a new aluminum jack. I'm on seats-edge in anticipation of attending my first HPDE.
Now, this might make you laugh, I literally took my first ride ever in and test drove a p-car on a Monday and went through with the purchase of this car by Friday, talk about a convincing first impression! My previous car was an e93 M3, also a fun car though very different from the 911.
Thanks for all the great info already!

Well congrats on the purchase, looks like you dove straight in
Can't wait to hear your first impressions of your first HPDE. Enjoy and get some Clear Side Markers.

Good question, I'm actually not sure as the car was originally spec'd with the turbo style wheels.
Speaking of, I would love to pick up a pair of turbo-wheels if anyone is looking to sell theirs, please let me know. (I do plan to keep the Carrera S wheels too, perhaps they can be the track set)
Thanks everyone for the welcome and nice comments!
