Sweet!!!! I got 2 words to make that car even better, for only $250 or so bucks - SPRINT BOOSTER!!!!! Then get a CAI from Trinity Autosport, an exhaust upgrade, and, to surprise that 911 even more, an ECU remap. You can even overnight that ECU to the great guys at Eurorev (and get it back just as quick) for some FUN!!!

My Ride: '12 BMW 520d Touring
Nice ride, love the color, rims and interior. Good choice!
Did you want a manual car from the beginning, or was this just something you came across? I mean, in the US manual cars are more of rarity then over here, especially the larger engined (V8) cars are just about always an automatic.
Well, I hope you will enjoy the ride, a V8 is a wonderful engine, and have fun with it!
