Thanks! It was time to get in on the 911 action after the Nismo and the CTS-V. After the test drive, where the Porsche sales guy told me to go faster and faster on a twisty road near the dealership, I had to take it home. Its like having a motorcycle but with four wheels, the sound of the flat 6 behind you, the agility, precise steering, precise shifting, braking….after the test drive, which was the first time I ever even drove one, I could understand why people fall in love with driving a 911. I did my research about the IMS issues and the DME counts to be sure this one was ok.

I owned a 06 cayman s and loved it but I have to say the only way it has my z beat is handling. Nothing beats a mid engine for handling but the power is a little lacking and the repair bills I don't miss but its always nice to say " Porsche " just rolls off the tongue! I even like the way the z looks over the cayman and there's no question that our z is waaaaaaaay more comfy for bigger guys! I'm 6ft 1 and 225 and found myself only driving the cayman once a week because it just wasn't comfortable

Wait till you drive the 911 GT3!

Then you would say God probably designed this car for Satan! Ridiculously fast would take you to heaven and hell in 3 sec.

I want a 993 rs or 993 turbo s when I get one. I have always loved those cars more than any other 911. Beautiful mmmmm

^ you mean this one!

Tasteful!!

Yes sir that's it

You know they call this as "The Widow Maker"

I don't mind as its a classic 911 design.

No significant electronic aids just pure driving skill will save you.

Ehh I feel like that's more of the 964 yellow bird that's the widow maker lol. That thing is basicly a death sentence I guwss.

Your right looks more like a casket in 4 wheels! Lol

They are 450+ hp substantialy lighter than a basic carrera and not even a widebody car so they are as deadly as a Porsche gets lol

Congrats!!!!! I'm a fan of the Cayman S.

Congratulations OP. Its looks beautiful. Remember, whatever folks say about German cars one this is for sure. They are designed for the autobahns!

My friend bought a 2012 M3 Coupe 7 months ago with 40K on the clock for $40K. He just sold that last week and picked up a 2014 Cayman S with 6K on the clock. He sold the M3 for $38.5K and put $20K down for the Cayman S. Its....amazing.

They had a few there, but way out of my price range at least in the 997 model. The 911 is pretty comfy inside and has more headroom than my CTS-V. I considered the 996 turbo, but I hate the interior of the 996 and the scrambled headlights look too. A 997 GT3 would be hot, but given that they are the last GT3 with a stick, the values are holding steady and rising for some. 997 turbos are holding too.

We had a REAL widowmaker in the shop a few weeks ago...the 993 GT2. The owner imported it from japan, and it was 1 of 2 GT2's imported to Japan. Oh yea I'm a Porsche tech BTW :)
