    Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    It took me awhile...but finally buying a 911. I went the long way through an M5 and a Maserati GranSport but should take delivery in November

    The specs are:

    9Q Meteor Grey Metallic
    AT Black Full Leather
    PO1L Adaptive Sprt Seats
    267 Self Dimming Mirrors
    342 Heated Front Seats
    640 Sport Chrono Packg
    680 Bose
    M6A Black Mats
    XRR Sport Wheel
    XXZ Foot Rest Alum
    X51 Powerkit
    X97 Gear Shifter Alum
    XAJ Rocker Panels Painted
    CUF PCM Painted Ext. Color
    CDP Instrument Surround Painted Ext Color
    XME Rear Ctr Console Painted Ext Color
    XTV Door Finishers in Leather
    X70 Metal Door Sill
    XPA Thicker Sport Steering Wheel
    XSA Sport Seat Backs Painted
    XMP Leather Sunvisors
    XSX Seat Belts - Red

    Sport shifter is no longer a factory option so I will add that and clear lenses when it arrives. Will also be talking to Benchmark as they did extensive work on my CTT.

    I will keep my 2005 CTT and I bought my wife a 2005 987S last year so I will be a three Porsche family. It will be a long wait til November.

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    Congrats, that is a nice spec, Tyler. Did the dealer print out your pro-forma invoice? If so, does it show Meteor grey? ...last I tried the dealer order system will not yet accept 9Q Meteor grey metallic for a C2/C4S.

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    That's a nice spec. I have a question though, with a base C4S+X51 and a few of your luxury features, aren't you getting close to 997TT money? Why not make the leap and go for the king

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    Damian,

    I do have a copy of a "pro forma" invoice that shows Meteor Grey. The order status is MFGCNF. I hope this isn't kicked out as I would hate to wait even longer for the car.

    As for the Turbo territory...its a fair question but for me...I was looking for a spirtited weekend car and I really like NA engines. Also, I prefer the more stealth styling of the C4S. I will have to get by with the turbo boost that comes in my 5000+ lbs SUV

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    You'll never be sorry. I just love the wide 'hips' on the new C4S's, wheres PSE on the order? Goodluck, the wait is fun...anticipation keeps you going!!! Good choice for the wife's PCar. My friend has a RED C4S and it looks HOT, like on fire Porsche pretty !!

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    I also went the long way through a 750i Sport and an M6. I previously specced a C2s and cancelled my order for the above - what a fool I was. Now I have the C2s cab and I'm a happy bunny (except I've just ordered the turbo).

    DO NOT CANCEL YOUR ORDER !!!!!

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    Great choices! The meteor grey looks quite nice, especially with the XRR wheels!

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    Based on some reviewing of this forum I added CDZ and CUV...two relatively cheap options but they tie into the leather interior and include the double stiching...spending too much time of the site can be expensive.

    As you can see I chose a mix of leather and exterior color...I wanted to bring the color in to make the car seem more on a weekend sports coupe vs. a luxury GT with a goal of having leather cover the rest...if I could I would rid myself of any of the grey std color but some bits remain on the steerwheel and brake handle.

    PSE is included in X51 power kit.

    I was planning to order a C4S cab and took a lot of options (similar to you) . I came so close to the Turbo price that I switched my order to the Turbo. Did you test drive a turbo ? It is awesome.
    Of course C4S is awesome too. No doubt about that.

    Exactly!!! And then you might end up taking options you will realise you never needed to!

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    X51 Power Kit, never tried it.

    Have you ever drove a standard C4S? If so please let me know if the difference is very noticeable

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    Hello Tyler,
    I placed my order in early september. Meteor also,
    do you have a status on your car? I did not recieve a proforma invoice just the dealer contract stating nov. build for dec delivery.is the proforma invoice something official from porsche confirming the order?
    Thanks for the help

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    Congrats - fabulous spec - good taste. How come you didn't choose PCCBs?

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    Congrats on your order, you made the right choice to get this car IMHO...

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    Wonderfully spec'd car. The adaptive seats are very nice (and expensive) you'll love them. I too feel that whilst the Turbo is a fabulous performer, I prefer the clean looks of the 4S... that's what I like so much about the 997... back to the original form.

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    The ProForma invoice is nothing more than a print out from the PCNA system that lists your specs and pricing. It basically confirms that your car order is in the system. Typically it will show the status MFGCNF indicating a confirmed order. If you don't have that than there is a chance your order may not be in.

    I condsidered the PCCBs long and hard...bottom line came to whether the price and potential maintanence was worth the gains in performance...this will be a weekend driver with limited time on the track. In the end...I would rather have the power kit and felt the brakes were more than adaquate for driving. If I find that I track it more...I may consider upgrading the system but will probably stick with steel.

    Build date is now 10/10...should have it around Thanksgiving

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    congrats on the beast!!!!

    really nice specced, the 4S has great looks, every one turns their head while it passes by, the wider rear looks so good from any angles, and well the 4wheel drive is probably TOOOO safe , it just sticks like glue....

    here is a pic of our 4S delivered this summer, after waiting 3 months for her !!!..

    She is a beauty and sounds like a beast!...those rear tires are just amazing...305 !!!

    this was her first wash , really nice washing her....its one of the greatest things about sportscars (apart driving them )

    I have owned a turbo (for over ten years) and I don't consider it a 'king.' It's just another version of the 911. Let's not get obsessed with this stuff,--that's part of Porsche's game,--to make you think that one is better than another and thus more desirable.

    A badge does not another model make. A TT is (just) a (great set of) options. It's still a 997.

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S

    I've had my X-51 for almost 7 months. It is an awesome engine which has gotten even better after about 5K miles.. A turbo will be faster but I never feel like I am deprived.

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S - It lands in SD tonight

    My ship has come in...Prince No. 1 docks in San Diego at 10:00 tonight...its been a long wait but it shouldn't be much longer now. Any other West Coast waiters that may be on this boat?

    Please don't forget to post pics as soon as possible.

    Can't wait to see good pics of Meteor - am probably going for this colour with my next 911.

    Re: Just Ordered 2007 C4S - It lands in SD tonight

    What did you mean by "The Sport Shifter is no longer a factory option"?
