Posted on other mboards....but was bored so here ya go.

A few pics of Dragon. Improvements validated- The car was beyond awesome. I now understand what the hype is surrounding 911s and finally realize I made the right decision in selling my SC'd S2000.
Only got out of sorts twice, kicked the tail out a few more times and chased down a group of Sport Bikes who were deep into lean. They finally let me by and tried to keep up and did so for a few straights, then walked them on the curves. At the top, they came over to check out the car and couldnt believe it was only a C2S. Mission accomplished.
Complete collection of images from the weekend on Facebook.

For those of us not versed in Porsche terminology, what's a C2S?

C2S is Carrera 2 S. S is the more powerful engine and 2 meaning two-wheel-drive.

Your S2000 was very nice but this a major upgrade IMO! Absolutely awesome car! If you ever need parts or anything installed shoot me a message, we really know our way around Porsche's here at Forged :goodjob:

If you haven't figured it out yet this is at The Tail of The Dragon, aka Deal's Gap.

Even though the 991 is so nice, i still feel the 993 is my all time favorite 911.

I started a journal on here but figured some had lost interest, so I followed up on another mboard:

http://csramotorsports.com/site/forums/index.php?topic=42505.0

Planned on getting a 997 GT3 but my dad, a long time Porschephile talked me out of it- Value of 996s and 993s going through the roof while the 997s continue to fall. 996s are bottomed out right now. So with any luck, I may end up selling this in a year or two to get into a 997 GT3RS and then I will be happy for a long time. BTW: C2S is simply a "turbo look". Slightly more improvements but in a wide body, lighter RWD. Less production numbers (under 800 in the US) and this one was all origional with factory aero, Sport hardback seats, 10 speaker "Hi Fi" and full leather so at 39k miles, figured it would be a safe purchase.

Ever heard of Google? Search "The Dragon" and it's the first search result. It's not like the title was in code, it's pretty clear "The Dragon" was the location. If he doesn't know what the dragon is, I highly doubt you saying "At deals gap" is a huge help. If you really wanted to help and show him what's up, a link to the website dedicated to the dragon would've provided a clear explanation, directions, and a map. At any rate, if he really cared he would've searched for himself instead of relying on others...

Quite a clean looking car you've got there! I can only imagine what it was like in a car like this.
