Does the hesitancy only appear between roughly 2500-3000 RPM and only under light to moderate throttle? If so, it's most likely due to the dreaded Variocam bump which appears to be fairly normal for both 991's and 997's.

Congrats on your first P car. If you're like most here, it will be a long and rewarding relationship.

Yes, thank you runner, I drove the car today and it is as you describe.

^^ I'm not diggin it.

I appreciate what your trying to do but it may be difficult to pull off a good look unless you went total race car look....and a bigger stripe like in this pic.

Either way keep us updated as I'd be curious to see what you end up with.

Hi BrandonH, I appreciate your comment and thought about the total race car look. While that look maybe good for the track, I'm into a bit more subtle/classy, so I wanted to accent the car with a stripe that picks up the yellow seat belts (I also have yellow gauges) and grey of the wheels. My wife said I should have red and yellow stripe to make it more "shocking" and match the brakes better. So far, the stripe colors I'm okay with, may make the yellow a bit thicker, but not total race car look. I'll keep you posted as requested.

My opinion would be: Please don't :P

I actually kinda like it a lot, but then again I see myself as a boy racer. Maybe have the yellow extend around the whole stripe instead of how it cuts off before the Porsche badge?
But there are a lot of other options to have matching accents to your existing yellow accents. Such as yellow PORSCHE decal on windshield, yellow 'Carrera S' model designation decal on bottom left of your doors, yellow brake calipers, and so on.

I think it looks awesome!

I think you should do it...it looks great!

I'd say give it a try. I had done something similar on my GT3 (+side decals). The great thing with decals is that you keep them for the time you like them... and then remove them and move on when you are tired of the theme.

I'd advise you to work with Kyle from kistudios.com/porschestripes.com. He's got all the options you need, has good advice and a nice picture library

I did contact kistudios and they sent me a sample of the colors. I don't have expertise to lay it down, so I will probably utilize a local experts todo this.
Thanks for your feedback so far.

I don't like it that much. It's a bit too Ferrari-esque (f430 scuderia) for my taste. In other words, don't ruin your gorgeous car with these tacky things !
