OK, here`s a few more pics from inside a dealership. Close to my order, but has sport whelels and standard brakes.

Oh yea, production now pushed to MARCH! :censored:

Enjoy!

Uncle! You are killing me! I want one too .


That is a sweet looking ride, and you`re going to be sporting a grin like the joker for several months after it arrives!

[ShineBoy]

Why didn`t you go for a C4S? It would have been easier to drive fast in the twisties!

[SilverLexus]

That`s a beauty Deanski. I`m looking forward to a year of 2006 detailing pics of your car.

No need for the C4S. Not going to drive it in bad weather anyway.

C2S is just as good in dry as a C4S and I don`t have that hump from the drivetrain up front as with the C4S. On the other hand, the new 997 TT has a newer AWD setup that`s really slick.

I finally got to drive a C2S a few days ago and I`m still grinning ear-to-ear! Sales rep who took me out in it told me not to baby it like it was the Lexus SC430 I had and to punch it. Man that was sick! Also, he told me when we were exiting a ramp off I-84 not to brake. Oh it was like the car was on a rail!! His personal favorite gears.... 2nd and 3rd to wind up the motor which does sound so sweet. Even better sounding with the sport exhaust!

Now I have withdrawl from the test drive! Production starts in March, delivery in late April or May. Then it gets paint film, radar and if Porsche approves the PCM swap for Satellite I`ll get that as well. Right now, some owners are getting the parts that were ment for the SUV from Porsche and removing and replacing the PCM with that one. Not yet approved by Porsche, but who cares?

Regards,
Deanski

Hehe Deanski why don`t you attend a Porsche Driving between that time? Definitely worth the money!

Is the 3 to 4 months order time typical or did you order enough special equipment to extend the delivery date?

Heck, I had cars I didn`t keep 4 months let alone wait that long for one.

Its normal since he special ordered it to his specific wants or needs. BMW`s wait time is 3 months. Next time around I`m definately ordering my car to my specific wants. You enjoy the car more.

Interesting.
The many new domestic vehicles I have special ordered usually took about 30 days. I totally agree with getting the car just the way you want it.

Charles

[joyriide1113]

But think about it. Domestic vehicle production is a lot higher than exotics. Most of the time the wait for a car you want in a brand like Honda, Toyota, Chevy, ect, is probably just delivery form another dealer in another state. Not neccesarily straight from the factory, since the factory probaly makes a couple thousand a month with all sorts of specs.

It has been said in various ways by many different people, but sometimes you have to wait for the good things in life, and sometimes the wait is a little longer for the better things in life. I think this vehicle just might qualify for the latter. :yes:

Almost 4 months of waiting and 100 grand, it sure better qualify.
It would be a great car to drive, it will be interesting to see if it is a great car to own. The reliability of the Lexus might be a tough act to follow.

Certainly not speaking for Deanski, for this specific vehicle, nor even myself as that vehicle is out of my financial grasp. But, often people who buy high performance vehicles do not buy them for their low maintenance/reliability ratings. They buy them for their performance. Like those who own (and race) thoroughbred horses you have certain ongoing maintenance/care costs which will be above normal. Those that can afford that initial hit already have those additional costs factored into their purchase decision.
