Austin Texas 997 Sighting Update
I've seen a few 997's scooting around town.
Black Carrera 4 at parking lot by Serranos @ Mopac and Ben White 71. I had looked at this very vehicle at the porsche dealership before I got mine.
It was a great looking black 4 with big lipped black on black rims.
I was on the phone but saw another arctic silver or gt silver 997 S getting on 35 heading south 06-08? with LEDs. I was just getting off there at Oltorf.
Saw a Red 997 S with tint and LED's, maybe '10-'11 ? heading north on Woodard off of Ben White.
Mine is a Seal Gray with LED's.
Any of you 997s on here?

Nice! Good to see some Austin folks around. Is Lot A the Porsche parking lot? Anyone know if the lot where all the Porsches park is free? Not a big deal just wondering how it works?

coming soon... meteor grey GTS 4 997 . Downtown area.
My first one! Anyone fellow Austinites have tips on how to give this thing the GT3 look without breaking the bank? Mainly rear wing and front lip?

Hi everybody from a new member of the forum (and to forum's in general).
I'm pretty sure I'm the Black Carrera 4 seen in the Serrano's parking lot (290 and Mopac). I'm loving the car so far and have a number of mods/fixes planned for it already. I went to the dealership to test drive a used Cayman S but didn't really care for the grey interior. That black C4 was on the lot just beckoning and after driving it for 2 minutes, I knew I was going to buy it.
Will try to post pics as I make my series of transformations (already swapped out the amber side markers).

The Porsche lot will be lot F this year. I think it will be a dusty lot this time. I will be in Parking Lot A also as I know this is a paved lot.
You will see a ton of Porsche's in town starting tomorrow until Sunday. I will be there starting Friday AM.

I would not expect anything to be dusty, given the rain we had in Oct, including flooding on the 31st. I was at COTA a couple weekends ago for the vintage races, before the rain on the 31st, and remember more mud than dust. Though I'd still opt for a paved lot if at all possible!

How does Lot F work? Do you need a parking tag? I was out at COTA during LeMans and saw the lot full of P cars..I stopped to stare at some of them. Lot's of great p cars in one lot!

Saw a few 997s on the way to COTA yesterday. A silver GT3 with blue stripe passed me on 130 around noon. I passed a black 997 S and silver 997 C4 on 130 on the way home, I was the red 997.1 driving at well into 3 digits ;-) Car park F was pretty dusty and a long freaking walk from the main grandstand!
