welcome and congrats! I bought an 05 987 in Feb of this year - new, left over inventory. you'll regret not having the windstop - so you should invest in it - makes top down, which is everyday where we live, so much more enjoyable!

once you ride in another 987 with the bose system, you'll regret that you don't have it. and, unfortunately, there are no wiring diagrams or dash kits yet for the 987, so upgrading to an aftermarket system, which can be done, is a risking undertaking.

it's cool to say you have an S - but I bet put up against most people in their 987 S models - i'd run parallel if not edge out in a straight run (at least up to 100). on the track, again, depending on driver, but in that arena the S would lend an advantage! for a couple of grand (aftermarket or techquipment) there are some nice things that you can do to a nonS 987 to make it even edgier and more distinct from every other 987's. but, when the car of your dreams is in front of you, someone else's advice is mere yada yada yada.

now that you have the S (once you break it in - which some say first 2000 miles, others say the day you drive it off the lot!) - drive it like a Porsche was meant to be driven and enjoy those extra 40hp!
