I likey.. I too someday will own a 911.. Would love one now but just scared of maintenance costs and upkeep. I've heard they can be real financial nightmares if problematic. Gl and congrats. Very nice combo. The interiors are a definite plus..

I talked to the dealer about mx before I bought it. Clutch is about 1300. Normal service at the dealer once a year about $400. I would spend more on mx on my Cobra than that. Plus, they are bullet proof. Not like Ferrari where you can't drive it because of the cost. Check into it yourself. I was pleasantly surprised. Cheers.

Thanks guys! Can't wait to get it to the track and run some laps.

favorite car ive ever driven to date! the steering is unbelievable and i agree on the acceleration. the gearing is fantastic.

just be careful with that ass end on the track. last time i went some guy had one and kept spinning out like crazy. the rear engine/rwd combo makes that tail just wanting to come spinning around. you can feel it just driving around on the street. :eek::dancenana:

have fun with her! i bet the drive home was a blast!

Hey Steve. I'm with you on this. I can't believe just how good as an overall package that this car is. Interior, Exterior, handling, power, etc. Porsche's are definitely different on the track. Once you get used to them, look out!
