Default Hope the RS is going to be great

Well, I sold my 996tt (not hard) and my Stradale (pretty tough) in anticipation of the '11 RS which should be here end of October. Hope the RS is as great as all you guys say and that I don't miss the Strad too much...

Tough to sell a Strad. How's the market? 2 months to go.

It's going to put as big if not a bigger smile on your face than the Stradale. The raw feeling of the car is very similar, so you'll feel at home. Obviously, you'll have less maintenance to deal with, but you will probably miss the sheer bueaty of the Stradale - it's a gorgeous car.

BTW - is the Strad sold or "for sale"? PM me a link if it's avail still.

Sold it. The market on them is soft. I agree with you regarding looks- beautiful car. I'm excited to hear about the RS feeling wise. And I for one, think the 911 design is pretty good looking too.

tough to sell as in buyers market or tough to sell as in you didn't want to let go of the keys. i tend to think of the latter than the former. stradale is beautiful. i'm sure you will enjoy the RS. if you could pick it up in germany in mid october there is still plenty going on and the weather will hopefully hold up. there is a PDS at the nordschleife in late October. should be a blast.

Tough to sell as in, hard to let go of the keys. But also tough to sell in that the market has plummeted dramatically on them.

I will have to look into Euro delivery. That sounds great!

you will probably have to get onto your dealer now and press hard to get euro del if you did not set it up at the time of order!

if you have the chance you MUST do euro delivery!

Think I would love an RS considering I popped such a boner after driving C4S? 65 BHP and about a 1000 RPM difference?
