I have a 97 and an 09S. Two completely different cars. Both great. The 09 makes me feel like I can actually drive the 97 at the limit. (I really can't. I also really need a proper PCA DE in my future) The 09S is a rocket-ship. Sports+ button on, watch out. I have had it just over a year (+/- 5200 miles) and already destroyed the rear Pirelli's. And that's with the PDK and never turning the traction control off. Congrats, safe travels and ease into it.

I've driven a 997.2 4S in Germany. It runs out of breath at around 150mph.

I rarely get much above 100. Nor should I. I work for the local Sheriff's department and that would definitely go on my permanent record. Plus, the local freeways are just too congested.
