    Stunning.. just.. stunning. Alright I'm biased towards black beauties but isn't it the perfect color for the cab? The interior is all black too, I take it?

    Re: Bye bye 997 Coupe, Hello 997 Cab

    Thanks for your kind comments.

    The car is triple black.

    Nav, PSE, Parkassist, Carrera Classics, Heated seats, CD Changer, Homelink, Cruise.

    I am somewhat bemused by the function of PSE. If i accelarate hard it turns off?

    I thought it was speed related?

    I have a seperate button for PSE as I didn't spec sport chrono, I will speak to my dealer about making this button operate as the only control over PSE.

    I love the PSE tailpipes though.

    Not usually, I had my Boxster S for 13 months and I would have kept it until the 997 Cab was available except it was stolen, then recovered.

    Felt a bit dirty after that so got the 997 Coupe to fill in until the cab was ready.

    I might keep the cab until the Panamera is ready.....

    Great car,
    Congrats!
    Do you play for Man U?
    Looks very nice in black, always thought cabs should be lighter colors than coupe, but hey, can't say anything now! that one's gorgeous!
    Your comment re PSE makes sense as PSE is now not dependant on speed anymore but basically every car data through the DME.
    Check RC's post to have it on at all times.
    Do you confirm that the sounds is crap with PSE turned off?
    Cheers mate!

    997C2SCabBlack;I too am about to decide whether to change after 8 months in a 997S (probably to a demonstrator until a 4S arrives, I do too many miles!), I had an offer of losing Pounds4,000 on the car after 6 months which I declined, care to reveal what this cost you so I can gauge my negotiation?
    You could PM me if you do not want your wifes lawyer to know

    Very nice car, enjoy.

    Regarding the PSE: did you check out the thread about the "loudness" mod? A simple trick does the job.
