Default Introduction to the 997 Forum

I am not new to Rennlist and have been a member for several years, but I am new to the 997 group as I sold my 1995 993 C2 three weeks ago. I am now the very excited owner of a 2011 Carrera 4S Dark Blue Metallic with Tan interior and PDK. It has 11,600 miles on the clock and she came from California just last week.
I have been lurking on the 997 forum for a few weeks now and I am looking forward to all of your knowledge and suggestions.
My first Porsche was a 1987 Carrera. It was Marine Blau Metallic with the Tan (yellow) interior. I am so glad to have another Blue over Tan back in the garage! I purchased the 1995 993 6.5 years ago and loved that car. I made several mods to those cars, but as yet have not decided what specific mods to make to this "new" car. I ordered the clear side marker lights and they just came in the mail this afternoon.

Nice car jhubs congrats! I like the clear tails. What exhaust is on it? It doesn't look stock.

The car was a one owner lease for 3.5 years and as far as I know there were no mods at all.
However, the 997 is too quiet and I would take suggestions!

I see why the exhaust looks different. Your car came with sport tips.

Gonna be hard to get that air cooled rumble...the water jackets absorb lots of sound. I just came from a 964 with a cat delete and a cup pipe. Less mechanical noises more ripping canvas noise.
