A beauty and I love the wheels, with the two tone of the diamond cut finish round the lip.
Random question - why are break calipers often positioned as they are on the Porsche, on the wheel hub? I.e. the front ones at the back and the back ones at the front? I'm sure there's a good engineering reason.

Those are the optional centre lock ones on the 997.2 Turbo. They don't even use studs let alone have the correct offset so a definite no. They come with a special key to loosen the single nut. Look closer:

Think the 997.2 turbo standard wheels would fit. They look like this:

Awesome car, but not sure about the colour, hmm. Also, I'm not the biggest fan of the way porsche's look. I don't think they are pretty cars at all. Best looking Porsche is the cayman S in my opinion. It's all about opinions though, and these are pure awesome to drive no doubt.

Looks great!
The one's you drove may have felt tired (which I suspect was not the case, more a personal feeling, certainly not with 5K on the clock unless they had spent it completely on track) but I can be pretty confident they'd be bang on the numbers at worst. My experience showed me that a 911 needs maybe 12K on the clock before it comes into it's own and I suspect with 5K on the clock it would still be a little tight. My GT3 wouldn't tick over for the first few days I had it, kept stalling annoyingly. The perscription was a long Italian service and bingo, prolem solved. These are cars that are built out of stone in the main, they will take a good kicking and in fact respond to it too.
I always felt (baseless as it turned out) that my E46 M3's were about to go pop as I got close to to 8K rpm where as the 911 never once felt anything other than rock hard. They feel unburstable the 911, you're going to love this I suspect and if you do you will become beholden to Pork even if you have nice things in between. Tis a bug I'm afraid, a yella one.
