Very sharp. Someone recently posted a pic of his red cabriolet. Love the color.

Great color. Yeah, someone else just got same color in a convertible too, although he got the beige interior.

My 2009 C2S Ruby Red Coupe....

Were those wheels available in the USA? I like them better than the stock S wheels on mine and they look easier to clean.

By the way, what month is your build and do you feel a dropout around 27K RPMs?

My 2009 C2S Ruby Red

Peace

Beautiful car Sam !

Those wheels are 19" Carrera Sports and were available in the US. ( option code XRR in 2009 ) They are not too bad to clean . . . although I like to jack up the corner of the car so I can rotate the wheel as I clean it.

My guess is that he'll feel a "dropout" at substantially less than 27,000 RPM...

Thanks for the comments guys - yes I'm made up with it! It was originally without PSE but I paid for it to be retro-fitted at the local porsche centre....(not cheap but well worth the cost!)

Love that sound when you fire her up!

Great site BTW!
