Not really, IMO. It has most of the essential good stuff besides maybe the adaptive seats. Interesting interior, not sure I've seen Palm Green before.

Yeah, at least judging by your photos it's a lot less green than I would have expected.

Looks like a great build to me... 997 Turbos come pretty well equipped, but the few options you have look great. PCCB brakes were NOT common in 2007, Limited slip is another pretty rare option and desirable, even though the factory LSD isn't the greatest. Sport Chrono not really that useful with a manual Turbo, but nice to have the Sport Plus throttle mode until you get around to putting in a tune. I was never a fan of the base stock 997 Turbo wheels, but thats easy enough to change.

Cool interior. Yes, sport seats look far better, but actually fit many far worse.

Only thing that surprises me is the original owner ordered a kind of unique option combo, a very unique interior color, and then opted for the most common color, Arctic Silver. Now don't get me wrong, i love arctic silver, but just surprised with the other choices made they didn't pick something unusual for the exterior color as well.

Looks like a great spec!

The PCCB's and LSD are a win for sure. The other stuff (technology wise) has all been superseded any way.

Full leather is an amazing option - I like the spec!

Enjoy in good health!

Looks like you did just fine - mileage & price, if you don't mind?

Looks like it was originally spec'd to be a track car. PCCB's LSD, fire extinguisher etc. are not common options.

palm green - never seen that one before - looks blackish at first glance.
options list is short and sweet

* Sport buckets were not on the options list in 2007

And you have a circular steering wheel (I never liked the triangular one)....just put your foot down and you will not remember any options!

I 100% agree with you except Arctic being the most common color, it is actually Black that is most common.....over 60%, I believe.

OP did great IMO and I love the color but as an Arctic owner myself, I am a little bias.

i would love to see more int pics.
