Default New C2S

Just a quick hello and update on the latest P-car in the garage. As a longtime Porsche owner and PCA member, I just picked up a 2007 C2S. It's #22 in a long line of great, fun cars that encompass a 55 Speedster, 73 911 RS, 92 US Cup Car and 2004 GT3, among many others. It's been a good ride!

My latest was picked up this past weekend in St Petersburg, has 17.5K miles on it and is in CPO warranty till Jan 2015. Had a fabulous (for Florida) ride home and am glad to back in a 911 again.

This site has already helped with some tech details (DME range report, all good) and sources for an upgrade to the PCM/Bose audio.

Pretty sure I'll leave her stock and will only do occasional DE's in street config, just for grins. Here are a few pics;

Thanks all for the nice comments. I've had a couple of blue 911's, but this is the brightest by far. Love all the colors, but the bright, basic colors really work on the 911 shape for me.

The wheel I think is a standard sport wheel recovered in alcantara along with the shift ****, cover and compartment lid.

I don't have the window sticker yet, and will be ordering the Certificate of Authenticity soon. Should fill in a few missing items.

Only 2 small issues so far; no power to the lighter socket and in fact the lighter itself is stuck down. Checked for a blown fuse, but the car didn't have the fuse chart, so I'm trying a couple of fuse locations that I got off the web. Anyone have what it should be for a 2007 C2?

Second one is the passenger power window doesn't do "auto up" till it's about 2/3 of the way up. Need to hold the switch up till then. If I release it after that, it will do the rest of the way up as it should with just one touch? Any ideas? Of course, CPO should help if needed.

Thanks again.

Congrats... I took the guards red pill with my C2S but that blue is sweet and nicely modified. BTW, the 2/3 auto up window is a safety "feature" on the 997.1's...

Passenger side window is working as designed. Hold until half way up. Auto up from that point on.

Nice car!

Very nice car. I guess now I know what mine would look like if I had the aero kit!

Thanks again for the comments and the tip on the passenger side window. My 2005 Boxster S did not have this "feature". Progress, huh?
