My new Porsche Carrera S

I finally ordered my new 997 '06 Porsche Carrera S!!!!


Production run: February/March, Delivery: April/May. Here's the build!

AT Black Full Leather
002 U.S. Standard/Emissions
26? Self Dimming mirrors
342 Heated Front Seats
446 Wheel Caps with Colored Crest
640 Sport Chrono Package Plus
680 Bose High End Sound Package
XLF Sport Exhaust System
X70 Metal Door Sill Model Insignia
450 Ceramic Composite Brakes-PCCB
641 Electronic Logbook
672 Extended Navigation Module
692 Remote CD Changer (6 Disc)
N6A Black Mats Porsche lettering
XAA Aerokit
XCZ Sport Shifter
XSC Porsche Crest in Headrest
XSY Seat Belts — Speed Yellow
460 Leather Sport Str wheel
POlL Adaptive Sport Sts Lthr int

Lots of toys added to this C2S!

With the Ceramic Brakes in yellow, the seat belts in yellow will look nice!

Dealer wants many pictures when it comes in as they do not get a Spec car like this often. The only thing mising was the Power Kit. But at $16K just to go up from 355hp to 381hp was just out of the question. Way too much for little improvement!

I see my old Lexus SC430 is on Autobytel! Dealer wasted no time!

Man I just can't wait for spring to arrive and this new Porsche!

This is going to be one sick car!

Of course picture will be posted once it gets to the dealer.

Regards,
Deanski

I call dibs on the first ride after the engine is broken in!

The Carrera S is a beautiful full on performance car. I'm supposed to detail a metallic black '06 but it has been hard to coordinate it with the owner because of the weird weather and holidays-holding out hope for this Sunday though.

I'm hoping it's Atlas Grey Metallic!

You just bought yourself my dream (well, attainable dream) car! The 997 is just so awesome, from its looks to its handling and power...and nothing makes me sweat more than a Porsche badge on the hood!

Geez, those ceramic brakes take the already-fantastic porsche brakes to a new level!

Have a ton of fun with that! Please, please, post lots of pics!!

WOW!! You have that car loaded. You will love the "640 Sport Chrono Package Plus" I drove 2, one with it and the other with out and the difference was huge. The short shifter is nice. I personally have never heard the sport exhaust but my friend told me that it sounds sweet. You have that car loaded just the way I would. Please post pics of it when you get it.


Whay color did you get? (Int, Ext)

Dealer wants to get pics of it for one of the Porsche mags as this is one sick car!

The sport exhaust sound really nice! Got to hear one on another Carrera S! If you hit the SPort button, it uncorks it at higher revs and man it sound even better! I was sitting in it, revving the motor and I had such a smile on my face!

Exterior is black, Interior is black full leather with yellow seatbelts to match the PCCB's yellow calipers (Porsche Comp Ceramic Brakes).

Oh yea, I hear all about the Sport button when driving it... PASM lowers the car 10mm or so and stiffens the shock valving and engine management is more responsive to throddle.

Of course Armorglove will be installed. As well as a K40 radar/laser detector and Sirus.

They are trailering it to my condo after I go through the "delivery" at the dealer as we want to make sure I an clear some speed bumps in our condo with the Aero Kit.

Now, what to use as a sealant?? Maybe FMJ, Maybe Zaino, Maybe EX-P who knows... Good color for Souveran as wel!

The dealer is also contacting Porsche factory to see if they can get pics of it being built, then when it comes into port, more pics from the people there they know. Interesting fact: Porsche puts in a chip to limit speed prior to arrival to dealer. Chip only allows up to 20MPH no more! New measure to combat theft or hot-rodding when in port.

Regards,
Deanski
