My new 991C4S
Folks, as a new member (but on my 3rd Porsche) I wanted to thank the forum for all the information that was made available to me to make the right choices...for me anyway.
I ordered my C4S 6 months ago even before it was announced as I was pretty close to the dealer. Needless to say, my config changed numerous times and I drove my local dealer crazy. The end product though is gorgeous. I wanted a car which was great in the snow and also something to keep for a long long time.
Summary of my config is as follows:
- DBM
- Expresso full leather, including steering wheel, seat belt feeds and fuse box
- Sports steering wheel
- Sportdesign pack with ducktail
- Glassroof
- Ceramics
- Alu trim, including pedals and centre console
- Powerkit ggrrrrr
- Burmester...took my cds in and ran an hr of tests...i was sold on the first one hahaha
- Sports+ seats (i dont like so much electronics but also like comfort...these were a good compromise for me)
- Note - no power steering plus....not needed..tested and it was crazy light...I compared 2 different cars and IMHO this is just not necessary. Plus I drive a 1M and a M5 too and I am inclined towards heavier steering
- PDCC plus SPASM.....the ride is just magic and I have tons of switchbacks and valley roads around my place...hugs the road like glove
- smokers packet to clean the centre console
- entry and drive
- pdk
- sport classic wheels with colour crests
- spacers and rdk
- satnav
- parking back and front
- cruise control
- light design pack
- floormats
- online option
- telephone module
- folding mirros
- 911 badge
- dark lights at the front plus PDLS
- colour key and leather holder
- tinted glass
- rear wiper
- porsche crest on seats
- heated seats
- middle tunnel in leather and stitching
- silver belts
- electric mirros
- painted washers
At the end of the day I have no regrets, which is how I wanted it to be. Enjoy the pics. I have only drive 100kms so happy to provide feedback once I have had more time to feel the car. I got 7perc discount plus prosche driver training thrown in for my wife and I. To top things off I went to Stuttgart and spent a day in the Porsche Museum a week before my car arrived so I was all jacked up!
Ciao

Thanks all! Pretty difficult to comment comprehensively on the powerkit but some things that I notice compared to the standard S I test drove, slight change in sound to my ear; a little more racy and burbles/gurgles, with the major difference being linear power delivery... feels like a smoother climb to redline which I like....need more kms to test but I saw it as a 'why not' option considering all other specs and since I also wanted chrono, sports exhaust etc...unlike the last powerkit they have invested heavily into the parts this time so ticked that box whilst ticking many others :-).

Impressive build. The black lights make the lights stand out less, shape of the car more. Killer overload on options. Options to Porsches are like horsepower to race cars: too much is.... just right.
