I had a cobalt Cab before and that was my fav blue before the Aqua Blue. Cobalt seems brighter to me.

I have the 09 C4S...must be the same one you had. How is the acceleration difference between your stock turbo and the 09 PDK?
Thanks

The DFI w/PDK is quick, loved the PDK but I'm use to driving a stick and missed shifting with a clutch.

I loved them also after a short test drive before I got the C4S but for me it was just too much and nobody wanted to ride with me either, They wanted to go in my M3 instead

Here are a few day time shots for now

In my opinion, Aqua Blue is the best color offered by porsche currenty. Your Alpine White M3 is sick as well. Together they are a killer combo.
Big thumbs up.

wow...

seriously awesome. I must say that is a real sweet looking color and on just a sick azz car. The white m3 is a sweet choice as well. I really would IF I HAD A CHOICE pick those two cars in those two colors.

You gonna fiddle around with the suspension on the TT? I honestly think thats really all you ... or well, I would do to the car. I love the clean look and thats one helluva clean sporty classy looking car.

Enjoy and have fun!

I 'm glad someone else had isses with the C4S launch car seats. They were fine once you were in them but a pain to get in and out of. I Gave my wife that car and bought myself a new '09 Turbo.

hmm, I get the same reaction from my family
As long as I stay away from the dealer and they don't happen to have a unsold White GT3 w/red stitching, I'm safe

LOL. My family told me after purchasing my '09 TT that they will hold an "intervention" if I get another car in less than 1 year from now.

I'm also considering having my car flat-bedded to the dealer for servicing, just so that I stay away.

I may also have our IT guy block this and other car sites from our corporate firewall (no offense).
