Default Finally home!


She's home. practically new, about 8,300 miles before the 1,100 mile journey home. 2008 slate gray metallic, terra-cotta, supple leather, axel differential lock, sport chrono and a bunch of other small goodies.

Wasn't too sure about terra-cotta, but it's stunning in person. Anyone considering it should see it in person before writing it off. Really wanted the adaptive sport seats, in pictures the standard seats look boring and don't appear to give much lateral support. Another bad assessment on my part. Standard seats have the classic Porsche look in person and offer great support for my frame (6' and 170 lbs) they're. Supple leather also looks a great deal better in person. In pics it comes across wrinkly and aged, not so in person.

Hope to contribute more to the forum now. Look forward to meeting fellow owners, anyone in the D.C. Metro with an exhaust? Would love to hear how much better this thing can sound.

I am up just North of Baltimore, I have a slate grey cousin - I put on a speed tech 3" X-pipe exhaust a few weeks ago - maybe we could meet up at Hunt Valley cars and coffee one Saturday if you'd like to hear it in person. Mine has cats, if it's not loud enough there is another guy in the area I know that has it w/o cats.

Thanks theplings, Hope to make it up to that cars and coffee, would love to hear a catted 3" speedtech exhaust, that's exactly what I was considering. 1.5 hour drive might be too far until I find a car seat for my boy. Let me know if you're ever in northern va.

Congrats on the car! What a beauty

I am in the Frederick area and frequent Katie's Cars and Coffee somewhat frequently. Have a Remus exhaust with headers and 200 cell cats if you'd like to hear it sometime
