Awesome 997 and wonderful photos too. :thumbup: Pics #3 & #4 with the broken cloud sky and the trees in the background stand out even more. Almost perfect natural light and great backgrounds - nice!

Glad you discovered the site - the Vibes are indeed good. :angel:

A favorite car and a favorite road. This was near the north end of the Taconic Parkway in NY. I've driven it many times but this one was special.

The car is stunning. I love the color - that's one of the nicest blues I've seen in a photo. (Colors in photos are difficult to judge due to the many variables of light, equipment, color balance, etc.)

No matter, what blue is it? I tried to match it but not having much luck. It seems like Aga Blue or Azure Blue or similar.

Both great cars!! I had a 7.2 base model GT3. I miss it so much ..but I like the profit and having 7.2 Carrera almost as much 😁

Question for you.. if you don’t mind what is your ride height on the 7.2 (white car). Bottom of the front fender to the ground.. just curious

No idea but it is factory standard. Obviously a bit deflected on the Nürburgring...parked shot here:

Well, if you have time, much appreciated.. yours has a nice stance and I’m trying to dial mine in
