Those pics are fantastic!

I've said the same thing before and I'll say it again.

C4S is the best shaped Carrera ever, with the wing down.

It is Motion at Rest.
It does it for me.

i agree the newer 911s just don't grab me with no rear spoiler. The backend of the new C7 / Cayman looks much better than the 911 with no "wing".

Nope. Not yet.

Mine was issued a VIN last week, so it won't be too much longer, now!

Those are not wings. They're nothing but flaps. This is a WING.
