After totaling my AMG in July and getting a really nice payout from the other person insurance company, I was able to pick up a dream car of mine that has always been unobtainable.

Picked up this little gem at the end of September. 09 C2S, 48k miles. Nicely equipped on the inside. Unfortunately not a turbo car but at 3200 lbs, 385 hp 6 cylinder moves out well. The PDK 7 speed auto is unbelievable on how fast it downshifts and upshifts compared to normal torque converter tranny.

Curious if you've thought about aftermarket wheels? I think it makes all the difference with the new Camaros.

LOL... same thing he told me when i got my Camaro.

Wow what a gorgeous car!
My dad and brother had both bought Porsches in the last few years and love them even on long road trips.

You need to try and do an open track day!

Let me know if your ever heading to Porsche NA in Atlanta, I could meet you there is is only about 30-45" from my house.

Driving at Barber would be great!!!

A good friend of mine just sold his 2011 Carrera which had nice wheels. Also has a modded S4 with wheels... I'll ask him.

They probably do have the same bolt pattern, but i am not sure there are a lot of 11-12" audi or vw wheels

I asked him. His Porsche wheels were "Avant Garde" brand and he got them from Element Motorsports. Said they were about $400 a pop.
He also said Porsche forums often have good deals on wheels in classifieds.

Thanks, I stumbled across Avant Garde last week and have some picked out.
Of course, they have a reputation (like all cheap wheels) of bending and cracking but that seems more problematic on heavier cars like Benz and Audis. For 1500 or so a set, I plan to give them a try
