Gorgeous color. That excites me. Rebuilt engine is nice. Probably going to need a lot of chassis based work going forward if it hasn't have a bunch of rubbers, struts, brakes, etc gone through yet. That is a lot of miles, but nothing the chassis can't handle. How about the gearbox? Has it ever been done?

Hey Matt.
I haven't driven one yet - I'll take this out for a spin and see how it feels. I am worried about the heaviness, especially the C4, but proof will be in the pudding. The SC felt really nice, albeit a little unpowered, so I'm hoping this car feels somewhere between the SC and the 996 (hopefully closer to the SC...)
The rubbers/perishables will be my main concern, they're a PITA to work on. Brakes have been done, suspension has been done although it doesn't say to what standard. No news on the gearbox - what sort of mileage do they begin needing a rebuild? Anything I should look out for? Notchy gear changes? Having to double clutch? I'm under the impression the G50 should feel nice (and nicer than the 915 I drove a few days ago)
