    Veeeery nice car!
    That's the best picture of the Carrera Classic wheels I have seen so far. They look really beautiful in that picture - well done!

    Is is Basalt or plain black?

    I didn't order sport chrono because of the cheapo, aftermarket style clock.

    I'm sure someone will work out how to get the functionality retrofitted without the clock in the future

    Looking real good. Is that the gloss black? The shine is awesome off it!



    Basalt black - the dealer used Autoglym Super Resin polish. About Pounds7 a bottle.

    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!



    I can confirm that the PSE is crap when turned off

    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



    I lost Pounds3500 in 6 months and 7000 miles. The car was not a cherished possession, I used it as a daily driver and it had a few stone chips etc.

    Depending on the condition and miles I would say your offer is about on the money.

    Ok, next question is: is "PSE off" the same as stock 997S exhaust. I think RC stated that "PSE off" is different and he should know because he's had stock for over six months now. If this is definitely the case, and it's disappointing, yikes.

    I can't compare to 997S as my coupe was a non-S.

    My impression is that PSE off is quieter than my 997 coupe was.
