I was supposed to get the car shipped but the carrier requested for an additional $1000! So i decided to pick the car up myself and drive it back to SF! (abt 900 miles). The trip was a blast! I brought V1 with me and i arrived SF without any speeding tix! 
This car literally handles like its on rails, and i can't believe how remarkably well it corners compared to an m3.
The car has 14k miles on it when i picked her up from a porsche dealer at Tucson, Arizona.
Here are some crappy pics i took with my friend's dig cam.

only concern i have is that a carrera s here costs as much as an m6 !

It's so funny. My friend just bought a MB E63 from a dealer in So. Cal and drive back to Tucson, Arizona. The week later, his co-worker bought a M5 from So. Cal and also drive back to Tucson, Arizona. The reason they bought it over there is because dealers in So. Cal charge about 5 to 10k less markup on those cars. How about you??
And for me. I test drove 2 most powerful sedans in 2 weeks. Sweeeet!!

Very NICE! Does the Porsche replace the E60 or is this just an added toy?

Well for me the nearest place to find a Guards Red 997s with Tiptronic Transmission is at Tucson, AZ. California has only either black or grey. To be honest i get a fair deal for the car. I paid $69k plus tax and fees. MSRP of the car was $92k.

No it's used, 14k miles. I wanted to get 6-spd but my gf is not willing to learn to drive stick.
