Honestly, no I don't. The sport exhaust on the "S" model has asymetrically sized quad tailpipes and I've been told that the airflow through the larger one on each side is increased via a baffle which opens up. But I have never seen a schematic diagram or detailed technical explanation of what happens. It definitely has a raspier and louder exhaust note.

Since the car will be out of state in order to get tags you must register it with CA and of course pay the sales tax. That how it works in most states. In Florida we even have to show up with vehicle and have an onsite appraiser(damage,too) look at it.

you pay sales tax base on your residence. if you have a house in Oregon, you better change your driver license to that address

Actually, you typically pay sales tax based on registration, which can be different from residence. For example, if:
 
1. You are a resident of CA;
2. You have a vacation home in WA;
3. You buy and register a car in WA (one that you keep at your vacation home); and
4. Accordingly, you would pay sales tax in WA, not CA.
 
I just did a similar thing moving one of my old cars from the east coast to the west coast. I didn't need a driver's license (or residence) in the other state to register a car there . . . .

I live in California and I do own a house (rented out) in Oregon. I was going to buy my 997 using that address. However, when I talked to my insurance agent, they said I need to have a Oregon driver license in order to get the Oregon registed car insured.

The criterion for insurance (forget registration, its sales tax and insurance that everyone wants to save on) in New England seems to be "principal place of garaging". So, if you live in Boston and yet have a summer home in NH, you still need to pay the MA sales tax (NH has none), register and then insure it in MA because that is where the car is principally garaged. If you play games (i.e., register and insure in NH) and have an accident OR have a NH neighbor complain about the MD up from Boston on summer weekends with Live Free or Die NH plates on his Porsche, you're up the creek.
 
Gentlemen, this is not worth the risk.

I'm new to the 911 forum, and I've never owned a Porsche before. Just admired them from afar.
 
I currently own an '05 S4 Cabriolet, and I go crazy over cars sometimes, and right now, I'm already thinking my next car (in two to three years!) will be a 911 Carrera cabrio, or possibly a Targa 4. Any experience with either of those? I know the Targa just came out, but I'm sure someone here has a Carrera. Is the performance difference between the C2 and the C2S monumental enough to fork over the extra $12,000? I have a convertible now and love it, so should I look at the Targa, also? What options does Porsche overcharge for (there are dozens of them, I know), and what should I avoid if I buy one?
 
Thanks!
