Default Le Reve - My Dream Car

Well. I've wanted one since I was a kid. Finally purchased my dream car. 2007 Black on Full Black Leather 997.1 Turbo. Just an outstanding car! SC is down one Porsche, GA gains another!

Congrats!

I never liked black cars, but what do you know, I now drive black 997TT with full black leather, rolling on black P43s.

Beautiful car. I almost went with a black on black C4S before my TT. There is something about a clean, shiny black car that is second to none. Congrats. I've now had mine a week and loving it despite the threads on its 'lack of power etc...' Power? Holy crap! There's enough to have a total blast on the twistys and in my neighborhood, get you impounded for a week. Fantastic car. Enjoy and keep they revs high. You bought a good one.

I'll definitely post up some glamor pics soon. It is a CPO, I couldn't resist that factory warranty!

Black does look beautiful. I really wanted either Basalt Black or Guards Red. I just missed purchasing a GR, but I didn't miss out on this BB. Power wise; WOW. This thing goes like stink.

Jerry, still coping ? Aren't you getting a touch impatient seeing new turbo owners pop up almost every day now ?
Go get yourself your dream turbo, life is short !

Great looking car!
What options did it come with?
Did you buy it from a dealer or private sale?

Also its hard to tell by the pics but is your front lip and side skirts painted?

Nice car and congrats.
I thought from the title this thread was going to be about Cirque Du Soleil.

Yea im getting a little bit impatient but the way I figure if I continue to wait the 07's will keep coming down and I can even get into 08 territory so not in a huge hurry. I now have the funds but just waiting for the perfect one to come along from a private seller.

I am honestly looking forward to your intro thread ! Good luck and enjoy the (continued) hunt.

btw, did you see the $72K GT silver one from a member here, think that's very good deal .

Thanks 993s, Yes I did see that, I showed it to my wife yesterday actually, super nice car and good price. I am tempted but I really want a Blue, Atlas grey or Red one and those are really really hard to come by. If I wanted Black, Silver, or Meteor Grey I would have millions to choose from and probably would have on in my garage by now.
