    After a great couple of years I have traded in my 2009 997 Gen2 C4S for a 2011 997 Gen2 Turbo PDK. Deal is all done and should be collecting middle of next week....properly excited. Its the 7 speed PDK which I wasn't sure about until driving it. It is however bloody impressive and the car comes with the Sport Chrono Plus pack, which gives it Launch Control, active engine mounts etc. Car has done 24,500 miles and has most of the extra's that are worth having. Ideally wanted it in Meteor Grey, but they are difficult to find in the spec I wanted so may wrap it if the Black doesn't grow on me.

    Cant wait to get out in it. Couple of advert photo's and will post some proper ones once I have it.

    Very, Very nice!

    Turbo's are properly quick cars, Even more so with the PDK. Look forward to seeing some of your threads with it :wink:

    That's bloody lovely congratulations on the new toy. Was your old 997 a manual? The PDK system is supposed to be pretty impressive. Are they chalk and cheese in terms of how they drive? I love porkas, like any petrolhead I'll have to sample one one day.

    Yeah my last one and the 911 before were manuals. The previous tiptronics were bloody awful, but the new pdk system is absolutely stunning. It feels like a manual controlled with paddles which it kind of is, but the shift speeds are beyond belief.

    Touch wood the first day you take it out there are no GT-R's on the prowl! Otherwise you'll be the fastest thing out there! :tongueout:

    Yeah those GT-R's are crazy quick but I think the Turbo will be rapid enough for me. Went out in it this morning and launch control is jaw dropping. Did 2 launches and got 3.3 and 3.4 0-60!!!!!! The fact the GTR is quicker again is staggering

    lol, quote of the year :wink: :smiley:

    I remember driving a 993 Turbo, must have been 1996 I think, mind blowing at the time, jumping out of the Clio Williams I had at the time and into that! :eek:

    I can only imagine just how quick the more modern 911 turbos are these days!

    Look forward to more pictures and updates

    Those pdks will do launches all day everday. See a video of someone filming 50 back to back full bore launches and not a single error or dash light came on. Average 0-62 was something like 2.9

    The wait is awful, I remember when I ordered my last car and had to wait 2 months.. I commend anyone who can wait longer!

    That feeling when you drive it away from the forecourt and bury your right foot for the first time though. That is something that can't be replaced by much else :tongueout:
