Default Picked it up on Friday in ATL

Picked up my new 997 at Hennessey in Atlanta on Friday.

Thanks to Scott Lewis for a great experience.

Brought it back to Nashville on Saturday.

Car is fantastic. Still have my 996 GT3. Couldn't bring myself to trade it until I was sure the new one was "better"

Still making that determination but I am amazed at how this new one drives. No bumpsteer like 996 and much less twitchy.

Had Hennessey do the "track" alignment before I picked it up. Factory alignment was way off by the way. Previous thread on this but I would recommend having your alignment checked.

Here is a pic of the family in the "delivery" room.

Cheers...

Congrats!! I was trying to get there in time before you picked it up to sit in it and look at it! I was a little too late. I am dealing with Richard and Mark(GSM).

Still debating over the TT or the GT3 in the 997 form.

Very nice!!

I saw your car in the delivery room on Monday when I went to pick up some brake pads for mine. The didn't have any. Your car is beautiful and I really liked the black wheels. Enjoy it!

Congrats on your beautiful family + stunning new car!

Love the combo of black spokes with polished outer rim. Far better than total black wheel.

p.s. Bought my C4S from Hennessey too.
