1) over revs in manual mode either will hit a fuel cutoff switch preventing it . If the gas pedal is floored it may even shift buy itself in manual mode .

2) Money shift commands are completely ignored by pdk in manual mode !!!!

In short the engine is protected .

3) By complete . I mean the entire setup designed by porsche where the chosen options operate in combination geared for performance .

 

Added Burmeister today .. BTW .

 

Its Burmester not meister. Go to post #52 on this thread where I reviewed the Burmester. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ferrerid=40996
The only other non P- car to have a Burmester system is the Bugatti Veyron.

 

i would never have ordered the Burmester, but it was in the car so there it is; anyway, it really is pretty amazing sound & placement. at this point i find no need to adjust any particular settings, but instead have played with the staging settings depending on the genre of music.

 

Does the Burmi noticeably reduce engine/road noise to maintain cabin sound level?

 

I wonder what Larry will do when the new, more road friendly, GT3 comes along.

He's probably more of a Turbo S guy... Maybe convertible...especially with all that beautiful weather...

 

Probably so... however, I recall his RS purchase threads....

The 991s is a daily driver . I am not ready to spend more than the 991s and i am not selling my Turbo but if a road friendly supercar were on the list I saw one today that is my number 1 pick . And for the first time .. it's not a Porsche.

 

Do it! McLaren has been my favorite f1 team since the 80s and if I could afford one I would have one, but I can't so I'm looking at the 991 and M5. Actually I should get a soft luxury sedan as I am going through some really bad shoulder problems that makes driving more than 30 minutes at a time a painful experience.

 

With McLaren, everyone (including your wife ) will know where you are, where you have been, etc, etc... In a word, say goodbye your privacy....

 

What does that option cost for the 991??

 

$5010

The 12c is actually not much higher priced than a Turbo S if the car is modestly optioned . They start at 240 and much like Porsche can add up with options . The average price is around 280 .

The problem with the 12C is that its not a daily driver and has a few first year quirks . This is Mclaren's first car produced for the masses as a street car and it was just released not long ago. It's aboslutely gorgeous though .

The problem for me is that I'd have to sell both Porsches to end up with no daily car and enter into a domain of exotic car in a town where the city environment make it so impractical . Plus it is a huge expense .
Another snag is that i love my 997 EVT700 Turbo so much that I just can't imagine selling it.

I can't help but look at the 12C in awe though .
