They won indeed. Their design criteria prioritized speed, fast shifting, track efficiency, etc.

BTW - I love that shot of your car in your avatar with the red tail lights. I've got them also and they really help to accentuate the curves of the car when viewed from the rear.

Wife insists on a manual. Needless to say, I'm very proud of her!

My Carrera S. No front plates makes it so much better.

Being as expensive as they are, Porsche should be more liberal with two tone color options. I remember that was an extra cost option *on top* of already expensive full leather option. Even my relatively affordable 3 series has two tone interior.

At what point will we get insurance discounts for manual transmissions? Its going to be a "security system". No thief will be able to take the car, as they will not be able to move them. No chop shops will want them.

Thanks! There are a lot of nice twisty roads in Colorado, if only cops weren't at every mile.

Thanks sleepy! I found the car in California and shipped it to Illinois. The color combo appealed to me right from the start. Lucky for me the first owner splurged on the interior upgrade to full leather. I didn't realize the interior A, B, and C pillars are leather as well. The smell is intoxicating upon entering the car. Happy shifting!
Cheers, David

I like the painted center console Quadcammer! Looks great.

I just installed a painted console to add some contrast to my interior. I think it's a nice touch, like yours.

I suppose so... are they considering phasing out the manual production for the turbos? I hope not! I would only buy a super car in a manual; I'm guessing that I'm not alone in that view.

BTW - I love that shot of your car in your avatar with the red tail lights. I've got them also and they really help to accentuate the curves of the car when viewed from the rear.
Thanks Dennis! Very easy mod so good bang for the buck. I wouldn't know where to begin on what I like about your car-- it's fantastic.
