This color combo has actually been my favorite for many years. I almost bought a 996 in this color combo about 6 or 7 years ago but after reading about the 996 issues and that I just couldn't get past the front end I ended up passing. I have been lusting after the 997 quite some time, just needed to find my color combo with a manual and an S. Not an easy feat.
I was driving a 2007 Corvette for the last 2 years and besides the two cars being the same lengths they couldn't be more different. Driving the C2S is much more engaging, visceral experience.
@Wayne Smith, being the chief driving instructor for our club and also being a PCA instructor I have actually driven several 997's including a TT at Laguna Seca. The cars are simply amazing. They are very well balanced, especially considering their imbalance with razor sharp response. I have driven the 993's, 996's and 997's, along with some older track prepped P-cars. The 997 is by far the best, from showroom floor to track.
This is a 914 I drove at Sears Point last month. A completely different experience!
@SJP3003, it's not flattery if it is true . I was very active in the BMWCCA, that is where I started racing. I went and instructed with the BMWCCA once at Sears and could not believe what stuck up ****** ran that event. After that I let my membership lapse and ended up moving away from BMW's altogether. Well until I bought the 330Ci last year.
Our track club has done many events with the SVR-PCA so I have had the opportunity to work with many PCA members and have always been impressed by their friendliness and enthusiasm regarding their cars. Looking forward to many years as a PCA member.
