You will not miss the SS that much. Be sure to take a driving class and hit the road course if they have one near by. Passing 911's down the straights is a blast!

Hopefully in the next 4 years i will have the opportunity to buy a freinds 04 comm ed. No miles on the car i think maybe 4k, has a big cam, full exhaust and a really good tune. The car gets down and i hope one day i can buy it from him for a decent price.
