Dad's 2004 911 Turbo
All I can say is it is the most amazing car in the world. The break-in instructions say keep revs below 4200rpm, so naturally we have been to preserve the vehicle. Still, the thing has a thrust bar airplane, and seemingly infinite grip. It even arrived 2 weeks prior to estimated delivery. The only option is aluminum trim. All 2004 Turbo's come with the PCM, and 12 speaker Bose system (which is amazing). by the way, the radar/laser detector is a Valentine 1 which is outstanding.
Proof shot to start:

Yeah, that wasn't even an option...Auto Turbos are disgusting, plus Porsche's 6-speed is like a dream.

Looks like you have a couple of other options already included - leather steering wheel, GPS NAV apart from aluminium trim.
Is it the X50 version (with 50 extra hp)?

The leather steering wheel and GPS are standard on the '04 Turbos (in the US at least). We didn't really consider the X50 pacakge because a friend told us the aded power was more or less unnoticeable since the gears are perfectly honed to the 415 horses. However we did seriously consider the PCCB Brake system...until we red the article in evo about their poor reliability in certain circumstances-an expensive mistake.
TT-I need to find a pic server which will host 1.3 meg shots. Thats why the last two are just red x's!

Dude, if you want to post them THAT big (although a nice 1600x1200 will still be eaisly under 500 kb), check out the sticky in car gallery. One of the new websites posted allows up to 50 MB
In case you are lazy as I am sometimes: http://www.terahertzcomputing.com/ should do, but well, 1.3 MB seems the size of the original picture not that I complain, but a good high-res (for the net), can be smaller than that )
