What can I say that hasn't already been said. Absolutely love this car.

Break in complete. Didn't follow it exactly but I was good for the first 1000 miles. Last 1000 miles I took RPM's to about 6000 or so. No sport plus.... that is until later today.

And the wifes new car...... CTT.

 

Pic of 2000 miles and car.

 

Awesome to hear. Any complaints so far or things you would change ?

 

Well done, sir!!! I am coming up to the 1k mark - I have taken it to 5k revs on occasion in sport plus because I love the rev matching in the manual.

 

I really can't think of any complaints or anything I would change. I did not order this car, it was sitting in the showroom waiting for me so if I ordered a car I would do things a bit different, but overall it would be a very similar car. It has all the "must haves".

With the C4S' and the gas level issue I do tend to fill up earlier than I would normally as I don't want to run out of gas. Another guy from the same dealer has run out of gas 3 times..... other than that I look forward to driving this car every day and it's been a long time since I have said that.

 

Thanks! Hope you are enjoying as much as I am........

 

Enjoy it Michael! And the guys at Town Porsche must love you!

 

Glad to hear you're enjoying the car. I still have 500 miles to go until 2K and haven't really been pushing my car, but I've still been quite impressed with its overall linear performance in Sport-plus mode. The 991S is definitely one well-crafted machine.

 

Mike! That's great to hear. Your car was awesome looking that day at the meet. I think I like your wife's car even more though. Wow. Nicely done. Great combo.

 

Thanks Michael. I am certainly making some new friends @ Town.

How's the camera?

 

Thank you. Yeah, she certainly caught me in a good mood and scored big with the Cayenne. It's a sharp car. Drives great.

 

The camera is OK. There is a short lag when you put it in reverse and, because it is mounted so low, it only looks back about 4 feet. It is not as good as the Audi and Porsche standard equipment.

But the install was perfect and Miguel and the people at Town could not have been nicer. I am flirting with the idea of a turbo next year (I am flirting with the idea of winning lottery tickets as well). I hope I am more successful with the tt. I will definitely give them a look when/if that happens.

It is great to hear your honeymoon is still going! I love mine as well -7,500 miles and growing.

I did have one "shock" today cruising the dealer websites for a friend that is looking into a Boxter. I saw at Jack Daniels a "new" leftover '12 991S equipped about the same SAS mine, maybe better, for $106K! WTF - has my car lost that much value in a year? Wow!

Did you ever resolve your problem with that cop? I got a pm from someone about a Bergen county cars n coffee type meeting. Do you know anything about it?

Anyway. Be well, and drive in good health!

Michael

 

good people @town, got my last 3 P's from them

 

I agree with you on the camera, but for me its a really good solution. Although I leased the car and will certainly give it back in 2 years, the camera, albeit with limitations, will help my garage in city parking the car. Certainly better than no camera.

I followed your thread on the turbo and was remembering my time with my 997 TT. The TT's are so fast, so much torque, but I also think that living where we do, the 991S for me, is more than enough power/speed at a cost (monthly rent for me) that I can digest and also stay out of jail. I think I would be timid with a 991 TT and not drive it as much as I do my 991. I am much more comfortable driving my 991S v. my 997 TT. Don't know why. Certainly neither car is "understated". But, I support you buying a Turbo and reserve my place for a test drive!! I'm sure it will be an amazing car.

Don't you know NEVER look at used prices so soon after purchasing a new car. You need to wait at least 2 years for the curve to flatten a bit.

Court date June 5th. I will be there with lawyer in tow..... Although I don't want to, I will probably take a deal, if offered. Hard to digest when I was just driving.

Didn't hear anything about a C&C in Bergen. I would certainly be interested...... LMK.

Talk soon.

 

Camera is certainly better than none...much better. I will drive the tt and if I love it (it is hard not to like how it looks) I will consider it. The chance to own a true super car once in my life is very seductive. But it is a big investment and your points about where we live are excellent. I am not a fast driver anyway - I just want to beat everyone to 35mph - i.e. to the next light or toll!

Glad to hear cooler heads will prevail on the 5th. Take the deal - it will be offered, and do a burnout out of the parking lot!

Cheers!
Michael
