Congrats dude...beautiful car. No more mods I guess?

A lot of friends who went over found it frustratingly hard to mod their porkers.

dxb335d · 03-20-2009, 02:35 PM

So that aint actually your car mate?

beemerbird · 03-20-2009, 02:37 PM

Chris! No wonder you were going on about Silverstone track days.......you've got one for free now?

You certainly kept that quiet...........but very nice. I've driven a 4S and the levels of grip are very impressive as I'm sure you'll know.

Very pleased for you and no doubt you'll enjoy.

Calvin, such a tease...........'old bits' in face = not nice possibly.

Just gorgeous. Can everyone stop buying Porsche's please... ...I WANT ONE!!!

G33 · 03-20-2009, 05:53 PM

bootiful car. congratulations

shame the DXB is quicker

RichardM · 03-21-2009, 05:31 AM

Beautiful looking car mate. Did you go for the PDK gearbox?

Hoops · 03-21-2009, 05:44 AM

Great choice and i really love those LED rear lights. Have to admit i followed a 997 C2S yesterday and i suddenly got a pang of guilt for selling mine. Concur on the superior levels of grip offered by the 4S. Well done!!!

Gibbo · 03-23-2009, 05:22 PM

Chris, very nice - looks stunning. How are you finding the pdk vs the turbo's tiptronic?

Enjoy your new car.

Hi Peter
Difficult to compare it to the Turbo as the Turbo was so mentally quick I can't say I noticed what the gearbox was doing most of the time

On Paper the new PDK box takes nearly a second off it's 0-62 mph time plus the economy for a Car with this sort of performance is unbelievable (Still showing 25mpg and I have been showing off a bit

)
