Default That's $735 for footwell lighting...
$175 for colored crest wheel caps
$640 for exhaust tips
$705 for auto-dimming mirrors

The rest are close enough.

Default The 997 Carrera 4S will likely...
Have the same engine (355 HP) as the Carrera S. Is that not enough power for you?

Default Econo or not...
It is a great car to drive. It feels a lot sportier and is much better balanced than a 911. It has a very accurate and perfectly weighted steering too. Drive one, and you'll know what I am talking about.

Default Coupe? That would be very nice.
Convertibles? Eh. What was it that Ahnold called my democratic brethren in CA? Anyway. A car for whatever it was he was referring to in that unkind statement (which he unrepentently repeated in his Republican convention address). Oh the agony of it. We body builders will never live the governor's shameless lack PC down.

Default It corners better than any other car I've had a chance to drive hard
The weight distribution is almost perfect.
