Very nice car and amazing seats
I do not know if it's just the picture but it seems to me that the front bonnet is too "low", respectively, the front bumper is too high.

Yes from the photos it looks strange. I do not know why... Same with my previous car... I went inch by inch to see if something is not aligned properly but I cannot see something...

Looks like once my mother in law or even my mom get in, they will become a permanent fixture in the car

Another pro for these seats, they wont call me for rides.

Let me tell you this.
I had to go to pick up something from the dealer who sold me the car.
I went there by car with my mother and there was a 997 GT3RS on sale.
Without telling anything to my mum I told her to get into the car (mine has the standard seats) and she did it. I did the same on the driver's side. Then somehow I went off (not easy) and she did the same as if it was the sofa at home
Comment of my mother: "nice car, seats are more comfortable than yours since they are stiffer but forget to go around with that dying rack behind" (the spoiler )

I could not hold... Took the car out to get coffee since it is in the garage for 10 days...

For the first time, i tried the Launch control function... I have to say i am impressed! I tried it with the PSM on so no spinning at all... From my drag racing experience, it seems that this car should do a sub-12.5 sec 1/4 mile bone stock... I will take it to the drag strip when they open just to confirm my feeling...

<p>Great car, love the seats and the color is the best for a C4S. Just stick a power kit down the back and that is all the car you need. Done that with my 2010 997 4S Cabrio and it became awesome especially the sound from the sport exhaust. Congrats its a looker.</p>

Thank you mate! I dont think i will spend the $12K for the powerkit... Just the PSE i will install at some point because i love the sound. The car as it stands is plenty fast... And i am saying that coming from a 10sec LAncer EVO on pumpgas... It offers so much more that pure straight line speed.

Or they'll call for more rides since they get to spend more time with you waiting to get extracted each time....

the thing with the seats is how soon you want to "break" your side bolster from getting in and out especially it is a daily driver. I try to go over it and not rub it much thus my small acrobatic, plus i have the Recaro side bolster protector for some extra protection...

I also ordered the bolster protector set from a member here in alcantara and when i receive it i will see which one of the two i will keep. The Recaro piece is high quality full leather with the Recaro letters on the side... I would strongly suggest such piece for the extra protection....
