Thanks for all the compliments everyone!

This quote is hysterical...and spot on!

Wow...you have a sharp eye! I love that car and will never sell it. I have around 150,000 miles on it and it's never once caused me a problem...it's terrific.

But it's a manual and my back just can't take driving it in traffic any longer.

With regard to the mods...I will likely do the GIAC flash...but want to break in the motor first.

As far as the wheels are concerned...I really like the stock ones a lot and see no reason to swap them out....for now

Congrats on that Bentley. The CGT is the most beautiful car I've ever seen in my life.

I would hands-down take a Continental over any Porsche any day of the week.
You certainly picked the right (and ONLY) color combo in my eyes !
Black/Black w Red Stiching, Black Piano wood, and knurled aluminum dash..

The only thing I never liked about the Speeds is the wheels (hate wheels w a ton of spokes)

Enjoy, I know I would...

Obv i dont need to question your tastes judging from your 997TT ......but am surprised at how GREAT this write up is on the car. Normally a 'typical' CGT guy will comment on the attention it gets and the quiet ride. Maybe on what 22's he is looking into LOL....but your 'real world' write up on how you use the car and what you like about it awesome. I am actually excited for you to drive that car and be glad your Lex in on a used car lot somewhere in Patterson.

BRAVO on a great car (cars!) and a killer write up. Cool to see a car company get it right too. Enjoy!

Thanks guys...the funny thing is...the car isn't quiet at all. In sport mode the exhaust sounds fantastic. Maybe it's different between the normal car and the Speed version but the more I drive this thing the more I like it. My daughter actually complained that it was too loud the other day!

Yes the Porsche is still "crap your pants" fast when you crush the throttle...but this thing is just terrific. It also takes off when you hit the throttle but in traffic, with the massage going...you just can't beat it.

I had the windows down yesterday and there was zero wind buffeting at all...this really surprised me.

I actually find that I get a lot more attention in the Porsche. I can never drive it without someone pulling up next to me to take a pic or give a thumbs up, etc. The Conti seems to blend in a lot more...

We have worked on a couple and I have driving some myself. The power band stock is awesome and I can't wait to hear your feedback on the GIAC Chip!

Congrats on the purchase.
