A good find in that case, great colour and great choice of wheel. Hard to find ones in a colour other than silver here unfortunately.

I haven’t done my homework on 911's, what does the 4S net you? AWD?

gonna modify it at all? Exhaust or anything?
"Saracen" (manualdoucheelitist)
03/05/2017 at 11:19, STARS: 1
Unlikely. It already has the X51 package (aka Carrera PowerKit, costs $14k and adds 26bhp).
That option includes headers and Porsche Sports Exhaust. I could upgrade the side mufflers, but I don’t know if it’s worth the cost.
The car also has Bilstein B16 coilovers that work with PASM. So no suspension work needs to be done.
What I’m thinking is maybe a ducktail spoiler. I’d love to do Fuchs wheels but they don’t clear PCCB’s.
Also I’ll probably upgrade the stereo. I want CarPlay.

Does it get sideways?
My wife’s new car has CarPlay. It’s a godsend.

I’m sure it will get sideways, but I need to work up to that..
I’m tempted to ditch PCM for a CarPlay head unit..

I took CA-1 as much as I can. Unfortunately it was closed at Big Sur so I had to take 101 to CA-1

I must admit I am getting slightly less manual elitist as I age. My F250 has the 4R100, and I would have given up a clutch pedal for an RS4 Avant. I intend to buy a depreciated Panamera 4S Sport Turismo in 5-6 years to go alongside the 997.

I spec’d a few of these last year when we were contemplating a move to the suburbs, but it didn’t materialize and we stayed in the urbs. My 997 dreams were crushed. Now I can live vicariously through you!

It hasn’t been wiped off the map. The road is closed to traffic, and crews are working on repairing the road and bridge.
