    Cool; let's see how much the cheap floormats are this year! :D

    Aren't they going to be billed as 2013s though?

    I kinda like the new 2012 911. I think that it is a start
    for transforming the 911 to a new shape or car. I do
    like the new colors too.

    I cannot wait to see this car in "Lime Gold" with Tan
    interior with the PDK transmission.

    Thank you for posting the config. web site.

    Tom.

    IMO a PDK-equipped C2S is the one to have.

    beyond that you're paying for power/performance you can't use on the street.

    Oh ..... I totally agree. Most of my car friends think the
    opposite, but I say the same thing that you do.

    It's an ego thing, I guess ..... power :)

    Here is the link to photo of Lime Gold :

    I have a 2011 Turbo S and as far as real world use it is far faster than any Ferrari I have owned including my old 599. The car is small and there is so much torque at low RPM you can zip through traffic effortlessly. I have a 997 GT3RS and the performance difference in real world use is night and day. The RS is a better drivers car but as far as getting to work the readily available power of the Turbo S makes is far superior.

    I owned a 6-GT3, and my base 997 C2 is a faster car in real-world driving; more power, lower ride height and bigger brakes get well into diminishing returns on the street.

    on the track, a whole different story.

    I am not going to try to change anyone's opinion. If you think a 997 C2 is a better daily driver than a Turbo then more power (...I mean less power but more money saved) to you.

    I had a 997 C4 Cab a few years ago and it was a great car but I believe that the Turbo S makes for a better daily driver with more power on demand to navigate through traffic. I know some higher power cars have trouble putting the power down and they can become unruly around town but the Turbo is completely civilized.

    Interesting how Porsche feels it is necessary to put '911' on the new models...

    Well, I came up to $122K. I splurged on the Burmester stereo at $5K, a fraction of their home stereo stuff. $500 for 5mm spacers, give me a break. It was fun, but I'll stick with the old stuff.
