    Re: What a beauty !!

    Thanks guys. My choices were influenced by a lot of the discussion that takes place in this forum. In the end I did not want to go with a turbo and plan to keep the car for a while. It clearly wasn't driven by re-sale value.

    Re: What a beauty !!

    I was told to keep below 5000 rpm for 2000 miles. I'll try to follow the advise, but may exceed the limit once in a while. Also you're not supposed to push it in the first 5 minute or so. Let the engine warm up....

    Is that Battlefield park in Princeton on Rt 206? I grew up in Princeton. Why are you moving?

    Re: What a beauty !!

    It is Battlefield in Princeton. We have been there for 18 years and I'm now working in Manhattan, so getting in and out of the city is easier from Greenwich.

    Thanks. 1st997. Mine is my first Porsche as well. We are looking forward to exploring CT backroads, maybe finding some great restaurants, combined with some scenic drives.
    Let me know if you have any suggestions.
