Hi all - in honor of my 40th birthday back in September, I decided to take advantage of the PFS 12-month pull-ahead program and I placed an order for a 991 Turbo. Specs are as follows: Agate Grey, Leather Interior in Black/ Garnet Red, Sport Chrono, Sunroof in Glass, LED Headlights, Premium Package Plus, 18-way seats, Power Folding Mirrors, Smokers Package, Porsche Crest on Headrests, and Colored Wheel Center Caps. I picked up my new car from the dealer yesterday. Although it was sad saying goodbye to my 2013 C2S 7MT (and a bit melancholy because I'm leaving the manual fold), I was ecstatic to welcome the new Turbo into my stable. Quick reactions after just a few drives . . . all I can say is wow. The PDK is telepathic. The car has incredible, otherworldly, thrust. It is just insanely quick. The 18-way seats are great; so much more supportive than the 14-way seats. The LED headlights are night and day better than the bi-xenons. For those on the fence, get them. The sound is pretty good for a forced induction engine, but candidly, coming from a C2S with PSE, it's not the same. The leather interior (especially in the two-tone variant) is stunning. It's such a major upgrade over the standard interior I had in my C2S. Some iPhone pics I took at the dealer are attached. More to come.

 

Congrats on a beautiful color car. Your description is head on about the difference in sound between the NA Cars. I am loving my agate gray turbo too. Good luck!!!

 

Congrats! Nice comparison on the details. Enjoy it!

 

Beautiful car and congrats!!

 

Do you still go into the garage just to look at it at night? I did that for two weeks after I dropped off my C2S and took home my Turbo. Enjoy.

 

I am in the garage multiples times a day and at night sit in the car with the radio on and read the 100000 pages of manuals. I will never figure all this out. The PCM manual is very detailed.

 

You bet! I sneak peeks at the car every chance I get! Here are some pics of the interior that I took last night (while peeking at the car). Lighting is pretty poor, but here they are.

 

Best interior combo....Love it

 

Do not worry about the loss of a manual transmission, brother! My remedy is to get a car about 10-20 years old that has a manual (or a Mini!) because these new Turbos hit redline so fast and everything else happens so quickly. The limits of these new TT cars are astounding and a manual would only reduce this limit.

Cheers!

 

Agree because these engines hit the redline so fast it would require some fast shifting or losing the power going over redline. In my 997 turbo MT I frequently over rev'd the car many times and felt stupid doing it. This PDK is a great fix and you never have to worry about damaging anything.

 

That interior is amazing

 

Thanks all! I agree with the comments about how a manual would be impossible with the Turbo. It's just too quick and hits the redline too fast, especially at WOT.

 

Congrats man!

 

Congrats! Enjoy the beast..

 

Beautiful interior combo!
Congrats!
