PorscheCooled Owner Stories #62 - Tony 2005 997 Carrera 2S

PorscheCooled Podcast

In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 62 of owner stories with Tony from New Jersey in the U.S. Tony did not grow up in a car family nor a Porsche family. In fact, Tony acknowledges that Porsche didn’t pique his interest until much later. Nonetheless, Tony is now a car guy, immersed in the car / Porsche community and organises a very successful Cars and Coffee @carsandcaffe in the New Jersey area.

Tony was a Corvette guy growing up and still owns his first one. So, what was it that put Porsche on Tony’s radar? Well, the first was a 1/18 scale model of the Carrera GT plus seeing the CGT in video games. In fact, the CGT is on the top of Tony’s list as a ‘one day’ Porsche. Second was a ride in his friends 993 Turbo in iconic Arena Red - the poster car of the 993 generation. Tony was hooked and ‘had to have a Porsche from that moment on.’ So much so that his first 911 was a 993 Carrera 2 manual in Arena Red. Next, Tony wanted to experience the 997, so is second (and current 911) is a 2005 997 Carrera 2S in Carmona Red – another cool and rare colour; optioned just the way he wanted.
