Hello everyone!

I just bought a Certified Preowned 2009 911 4s with 21000 miles on the clock.
It is meteor grey with black full leather interior.
PDK
Sport Chrono plus
PASM
with a bit other kit.

I owned a boxster S with pdk but it was a bit to small and light for a daily driver.

I live just outside of DC and drove to Chattanooga last week to pick it up.
The drive back was brilliant. I have never driven a car quite as direct, precise, connected and quick while still being completely tame. The duality of the car is unbelievable. There are those that call it a wolf in sheeps clothing but that couldn't be farther from the truth. It has the potential to be a soft, practical daily drive, or a high revving, corner crunching monster. The only thing lacking is the exhaust note!

In any case, sorry for the long post! I will post pictures with in the week.

That's exactly how I felt when I first bought my 997. In fact, it's what led me to the forum. The great news is there are lots of solutions -- search the forum and decide what's best for you. (Hint: many 997.2 guys go for the center muffler bypass.) Have fun!

My car!

Yep, it is a tremendous everything sports car. Regular mode is flat out tame and very smooth for what I call "just getting there" mode. Sport mode is "spirited" without being harsh. Sport mode + is drop your linen and start your grinning fun, but PDK in manual mode is where the fun really is at. Keep the revs around 5k-6k, step on it into a hairpin and feel like superman. Planted is an understatement. Pure joy!




p.s. Oh yea, and pictures or you really don't own it......
