I have this picture in my head of my car on the assembly line ready to have the PCCB's put on and it STOPS while the car in front gets the last set of brakes!

C4S,
Spoke with Tony yesterday at our dealer and he gave me a production date for 5/9. Hopefully delivery won't be delayed as I ordered my tip with the PCCB's. Only option that is still unavailable is XD9 (rims/caps to body color). I can't f..'in wait anymore ! I could have had a 6 speed 5 or 6 months ago. After shes broken in (which will probably take only a week or two tops) I'm gonna start looking for victims (any F430/Gallardo/ZO6 will do). Anyway, I pray that this PCCB issue won't affect my delivery date.

Victims of what childness? The Z06 will spank you without breaking a sweat. The 430 in its last year of production will stay with you and the new Gallardo probably will take you out. The 997 X51 (to be introduced next year) TT will put you away as will the 996 and 997 GT2.
So what have you bought? A HAS BEEN. Even the 996TT with a little tuning as the video demonstrated will pee on you.
Sorry for the rant but your comment was as stupid as I have read in many years on this board. Now I apologize but do not take back what I wrote.

I have to agree. You'll be looking a long time for a Z06 victim. Nick has some solid points; X50, although likely way overpriced, will put a hurt on the regular turbo. And, as far as the Gallardo and 430 go, well it's mostly a toss up. Porsche's turbo only competes with the 430 and the F-car is basically dated. Great car, but like Nick said, it is due to be replaced with a much faster one that will really hurt the turbo. The turbo is a great car, but come on, don't be blindly brand loyal. I hope you find your turbo to be all that you want it to be, but the only victim, may be you; that being a victim of Porsche and their tip. tranny propaganda.

Nberry,
My second impression is that you are a jerk who doesn't belong on this listserve. Are you a troll ? Didn't whomever hatched you inform you that if you have nothing nice to say then don't say it ? Calling any specific opinion "stupid" belies your innate ignorance. misinformed and almost every test (with the exception of Road & Track) would strongly disagree with you, particularly from a dig. The F430/Gallardo are not as fast as the tip 997TT in daily driving. This is a fact. Once again you are WRONG. Furthermore, from my prior posts you would see that I want to install an EVO stage 4 kit which would make the 997 turbo make your F430 look like the pig it is for nary 2/3 the price. Finally to say the 997 Turbo is a has been makes you sound like a petty spoiled bitch who was been handed everything by mommy and daddy. To say that it is a has been again makes you sound like a jealous hater - so step off bitch and go hang out with the pansies on Fchat who are willing to listen to your narrow minded a-hole opinions. Troll ?

C4S,
When do you expect delivery of your baby ? The wait is killing me. BTW, I used to have a bunch of small fishing boats over the past 15 years (always used as we never had the money to buy new). My brother and I always bought the boats together (he's on his 3rd 911 also). My brother lives in Westchester (he is on staff at Montefiore with an office in the Bronx) and I'm in Nassau so we'd keep our boats in City Island. Our last boat was a 25 Grady White Sailfish. Unfortunately, neither of us have the time anymore to fish (I'm in Court almost every day and he's got nonstop patients/OR's etc.). IMHO, if you have the time, there is no better sport in the world to truly relax than fishing. Anyway, what kind of boat are you waiting for ?
