Even with a Tip, the car is magnificent. My better half wanted automatic and she is thrilled with the car.

Use the TIP in manual mode a start off in 1st gear. Use the paddles to shift and it is not sluggish at all.

Drive it.

Default Many thanks!!

Would like to thank you all that contributed to my journey, I bought the black 2007 911 cabrio Tip with 28kmi for $36k including PPI from a Porsche dealership (clean)!!!

I'm very happy and even drove it from NYC to Montreal last weekend for the grand prize, had a blast!!!

Will open another tread as I need to find a Porsche specialist for the maintenance in the Manhattan-NYC area and am considering buying an indoor car cover, a removable Bra and a radar detector. Are you member of PCA or any other car club?

Any tips guys? I have already asked enough, but we never know right?

Thanks a lot again!!!!

I never really considered the 991 rims on a 997. I am now very interested. Can you post some more pics? I really want to see how it looks!
