New 997 Owner
Just purchased a 05 997 off the showroom floor. Artic Silver metallic, 19s with colored crests, heated seats with the NAV system(two options I wouldn't have ordered)Bose with CD changer, black interior, and xenons. I'm going to replace the center console with carbon fiber and change to a sport shifter after market at my dealership.
First impressions after 4 years of driving a Boxster S....the car is fast, prodiguous braking power, tenacious grip and flat out beautiful to look at. Porsche has nearly reached the point of diminshing returns with the 997. What I mean is the car is so good, except for the absolute speed and power freaks out there, a 997 S or turbo(considering the premium one pays for these models) seems like a bit of overkill.
Road and Track did a number of timed runs on the new 997 S and clocked a few sub 4 second 0-60 times on a test car with 4k on the odometer. That is very fast. MA.
