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!

Here's a picture of the new ride:

Welcome! Congrats on the new ride. I happen to know the prior owner if you want me to ask him anything about the car.

Welcome & congratulations! Thank you for sharing the excitement & a great 1st post with pic.

I try to warn people do not drive one unless you can afford to buy one!

Nice! I pass right by where your pic was taken daily on my way home from the west side. I'm gonna do my first DE soon also. Maybe I'll see you there.

Beautiful. Seal or Meteor Grey?

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!

Thanks and you may have just made a sale as I was already thinking about this mod!

Thanks, this is post first waxing with Meguiar's Ultimate Paste, good product.

Nice, I will definitely keep an eye out for you.

Meteor Grey I believe.

Congrats on the new ride! I know how you feel about the first drive in a Porsche and being hooked. Ive always been a Mustang guy and let me tell you there is no comparison.

Congrats... sweet C2S. I transitioned 2 years ago from an E36 M3 cab supercharged to my '08 C2S coupe. Haven't looked back since... welcome aboard!

yes, Lobster forks were available from pretty much from the onset of the 997.

Congrats! nice car. It doesn't take much convincing after you drive one!

DEs are a blast!
