Picked it up today! Exceeded my high expectations! Took it easy since she needs new rubber, but felt like a mix of my 997RS and my 993.

Some deferred maintenance needs... but what a car! Bought from original owner w 28k miles.

I think this one will stay in the stable for a very long time!

Cheers!

Congrats! I've been thinking about a 997.1RS recently and then had a day at Silverstone yesterday in the 996GT3. The rawness is intoxicating and something I'd miss too much.

I actually think black is one of the most complementary colors for 996's in general. Congrats!

Because it's parked on a hill?

By the way, what tires are you running? They have extraordinary grip.

Beautiful example!

Congratulations !
Worthy "customization" to consider, especially if you appreciate the 993... Console delete (factory part).
If you are anywhere near 6 feet tall, you will love it!

That is so true, they only made so many in white...that is the only color for me, but that's just me. To each his own.

Re. the sideway PIC, sometimes if you reduce the size of the PIC it will show up in a standard format.
