I Finally did it!!!!
After almost a year of lurking the site and dreaming I placed an order for a 2009 997 Turbo. I have an Oct. build date with a delivery around the 1st or 2nd week of Dec. Looks like I'll be having a GREAT Christmas.
Information from this site as well as several test drives has helped the decision process greatly, so thanks to you all. I had to give up something rather special to me to make this happen, but the limited time I have behind the wheel of this awesome car let's me know it will be worth it.
I just recently let go of my of pride and joy 2003 Z06, the car was a multiple best of show winner as well as magazine cover car. It was also intercooled supercharged and wickedly quick.
I have just finished the specs sheet and will be taking it to the dealer this afternoon. I know a lot of you will want to know how I've chosen to option it out, but I've been around here long enough to know that posting something like that is an invitation to the Funny Farm or the Poor Farm.
Rest assured that Pics will be abundant come this Dec. For now all I will say is that it will be BLACK!!!
Just wanted to introduce myself, say thanks again and ask just a few simple questions before I go to the dealership.
1) How does Alcantara hold up?, what does it look like after a year or so?
2) Those of you with 20's, how's the ride, there's not a lot of rubber between the road and the rim, and did you purchase the wheel and tire replacement plan that some or all Porsche dealers offer?
3) Those of you with 19's, what's the widest tire that can fit under a stock car? I know the GT2 has 325's. Can you do 345's or even 355's?
4) Can I expect any negotiating room from the MSRP? Best I have been able to determine is that 10% is about the max to expect.
Take care everyone

Allow me to make this fundamental and profound correction:
