I'm in!
Longest week of my life waiting on this car to get here!! I felt like I was having my first kid all over again...
It was dusk when it finally arrived last night so I didn't take many pics at home. These are some better ones from the ad. 2009 C2S, 13,300 miles, manual, good options including the Fabspeed X pipe and PSE, SC, power seats, Nav. The sound is beyond my expectations! Meteor Gray, CPO until June 2015. The car is absolutely pristine! I bought it without seeing it in person. After talking with the seller I felt very comfortable with him and the alleged condition of the car. There literally is not a scratch on it, not even towel/swirl marks, headlights are perfect, seats perfect. I honestly hadn't even drive a .2 car before I bought it...just nothing around KC to test drive AT ALL...other than .1 cars and I drove a few of those. But this thing is by far faster and quicker than any 911 I've driven! And the sound...WOW...just perfect. Very exotic sound, loud enough you know something cool is coming but not obnoxious in any way.

Looks beautiful!! Congrats!
If you want to show it to a real Porsche fan (me!) I'm in KC for a few days and staying in the Marriott in Overland Park.
Let me know and I'll send you my cell #........love to check her out in person.
Best of Luck!

Couple of quick questions regarding the .2 car....
As I said, I've never driven a .2. The throttle seems more touchy than any of S or non-S .1 cars. I obviously know how to drive a manual and can hop in a car and make it go just not "drive" it, but I haven't owned a manual in probably 20 years. So it's more than likely just me. For reference I was a LOT smoother in the 06 C2 I test drove a few weeks ago. But this thing just wants GO! :-)
And there seems to be a throttle lag RIGHT off the very bottom when you first apply some throttle to finesse the clutch a little...is this normal? Characteristic of the fly-by-wire perhaps? I think that little lag is causing me to give it a little more throttle, feather the clutch a little more, then bucking the car a little on take off?
Thanks for the comments! I can't believe I went to the garage this morning at it was REALLY still there! :-) Let me see weekend holds Tom. I'll PM you.

I thought I liked the wheels from the pics, but just wasn't sure. I can say this for anyone out there lurking, shopping, sweating the details...it doesn't have the right wheels, it's the not the exact color, not this, not that...once that car is in YOUR driveway all the $hit goes away!
Before the car even came I was already looking for front lips, duck tail, maybe wheels. You get in, mash the go pedal, hear that sound and nothing matters. And the wheels are AWESOME!

Ha! Those were really my top choices as well. I looked and looked for white.

my cheeks hurt when I got home bc I was wearing a smile for 4+ hours.
