    My new 997s

    Hi,this is my first post here .I've been a "silent" member for long.This is a great forum and i hope to share my passion for cars with you.
    I took delivery of my new toy ten days ago and i have to say that all good things read here about the car were true

    The specs:
    Seal Grey
    Black full leather
    Sport Chrono
    Navi module
    Telephone module
    Thicker sports steering wheel in smooth leather
    Entry guards in stainless steel
    CD changer
    Park assist
    Sunroof

    I know it is a little bit conservative but i love seal grey on this car

    Re: My new 997s

    Sorry for the bad quality, I took them with my phone in my garage.
    Another one

    Re: My new 997s

    Hi Flevio,
    welcome to the board and congrats to your great 997S.
    Seems as if we have some things in common...

    Re: My new 997s

    Congrats Flevio... Enjoy your pride.

    Re: My new 997s

    You're talking about the colour seal grey??
    Ok I'm joking ....As you know I'm italian and my very first love has something to do with your avatar
    I know it's a bit OT but for 5 years i've been the proud owner of a magnificant 360 F1.
    BTW the 997 is a great car,and the emotions i feel driving this car are something difficult to describe

    Re: My new 997s

    Congrats Flevio, I'm really happy that youve got a great combo color with great option
    is it manual or tiptronic?

    Re: My new 997s

    Thank you very much
    I see also you love sport cars
    BTW it' manual.

    Re: My new 997s

    As said before, beautiful!

    Re: My new 997s

    cool, good choice on the color... good luck with it!

    Re: My new 997s

    Hey thats my car!! except the navi and steering wheel....good choice. Congratulations!!!

    Re: My new 997s

    Awesome ride! I like it!

    Re: My new 997s

    my color also.
    with the thicker sports wheel, is the center hub also stiched leather ?

    Front Bumper looks a darker color than the car?

    Is this the way it is or an illusion? On my GT silver Carrera S the front bumper is darker and I am having it repainted.

    Re: Front Bumper looks a darker color than the car?

    Thank you all guys for the kind welcome!!!!

    For peecarfan: I'm at work now,i will check later cause I sincerily don't remember,but suppose yes.

    For Peterd: No I think it's only a problem of lights.

    Re: My new 997s

    You have my color Flevio! Hope to take delivery on 4/2. Enjoy it in good health, thanks for the pix and welcome to the board

    As I said:
    first love: F-car (prefer rosso corsa)
    second love: P-car (seal grey!)
    Got it?

    Re: My new 997s

    Right Rossi,but i changed my mind two weeks ago after having seen one in rosso scuderia
    This colour is so cool in real
    Have you ever seen it in real?

    However it's a good dilemma!Isn't it??

    Yep, I've seen it several times in real and didn't like it. Well, that said, I think it's okay, but not as nice as rosso corsa, especielly side by side. Just too much orange for me.

    But concerning the dilemma, yes, you're right, it's probably the best dilemma you can get into!

    Re: My new 997s

    Hey Rossi!

    F430 Rosso Scuderia with antracite Challenge wheels! Ever seen that?

    No this is the last one

    Re: My new 997s

    you can't get bored of this car

    Re: My new 997s

    Flevio,
    Congratulations. Nice ride.

    Question : How do you like the thicker steering wheel ? Can you put in a pic of it ? Does it have leather over the air bag cover ?

    I ordered my 997 S cab w/ the thicker steering wheel because I love that option with the 996. I just haven't seen or felt one on a 997 yet.

    Thanks.

    Re: My new 997s

    Whoops. There is a pic of the wheel. I must have been only looking at the first set of pics.

    That thicker wheel looks fantastic. Bet it feels great with the smooth leather.

    Flevio,
    I have one of the few Rosso Scuderia Stradales that has the factory Rosso Scuderia paint on the calipers as well. A lot of the Rosso Scuderia Stradales have regular rosso corsa calipers. I didn't like they way that looked. When it came in last September with matching paint and calipers I was pysched.

    From what I understand Rosso Scuderia is the factory paint on the Formula 1 cars. I heard they stopped using Rosso Corsa because it did not give off the color they wanted when filmed and looked at on television so they switched to Rosso Scuderia. Anyone know if this is true ?

    Re: My new 997s

    I have to admit i was a little bit sceptical when i ordered it(was advised by my dealer)!!
    But IMO you really feel the difference when you drive!Don't you think so?
    Here another pic,hope it can help you
    IMO it's a good choice
