Neither. I did install a third radiator when we moved to the desert a couple years ago, so some portion of the coolant was replaced.

Sorry, no. But a new track just opened about 40 miles east of me. Its called Chuckwalla Raceway. It opened in April or May and I was able to get one track day there before they closed for the summer. They have just reopened so I'm hoping to get quite a few days there this winter.

For a first time owner, it is very encouraging to see that these cars can run that distance so well. I sure am looking foward to spending lots of time in front of my engine

51 K on my '07 C4S, car is entering its prime !

I really enjoy these high mileage threads - IMHO these folks make up the core of Porsche enthusiasm.


My '07 C4S is entering its prime @ 51 K.

Of course I look longingly at the new cars, but for now I am still enjoying my car........

Maybe if the stock market does well into 2011, I will cash out and try a 2012 or a 2011 leftover....

A sales guy at my local NorCal dealer mentioned that he heard from Germany that the 2012 will grow in size and will have a hybrid option - more GT like perhaps.........Hmmmmm
