25+ years in the making

First off she is a C4S with MT, PSE, SC, Glass Sunroof and SPASM. What a drive, I wish I could say how I feel every time I get behind the wheel. PSE is always on and I have even tried the rev-matching - I cannot wait for 2,000 miles to switch on sport plus - I guess its easier to manage the revs in a manual.

As for my experience with the purchase, I have to say that Casey over at Silver Spring Porsche Maryland did a great job. It was great to work with someone who has a passion for cars and understood immediately what I was after. They even let the car sit in the showroom for a week to get the steering wheel re-finished with Alcantara.

Unfortunately, it was a rainy day so I could not post outdoor shots.

I don't think there is any reason to wait to switch that on... no mentioning of that in the manual during the break-in period. Just makes sure the engine is all warmed up, and have fun. Just keep it under 4200 rpms/

Congrats! She is a beauty!

Just like real hot rods have three pedals so do real sport cars.

I know the PDK is faster just not as involving or as much fun.
