New Turbo S on the way!

I'm new to Porsches, having owned a few BMWs and most recently a 2009 ZR1 Vette (major quality disappointment). I've got a new Turbo S (scheduled production date of May20) on order-
GT Silver Metallic, Brown Natural Leather, Clear taillights, heated and ventilated seats. Ordered through Porsche Exchange in Highland Park, IL. They've been great to work with.

After reading the posts on this site, I'm sure that I made the right choice in vehicles. I'm particularly impressed with the camaraderie on the site, and willingness to share what works and what doesn't.

I'll post some pics when the car comes in, meanwhile, I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.

Congrats on your order and welcome to the 6.
Yes, P cars are very special indeed.
What is even more special is the P car community here on 6speed.
The members here are very generous with giving their advice and experience.
The Admins/Mods are incredible and simply a wealth of information.
The site sponsors are gurus in their respective fields and their contribution to the community is immense.

Downsides?
1- Once you're hooked on the 6, no other forum or online community will satisfy you.
2- If you're not careful, this addiction could eventually be grounds for divorce

Again, welcome to the 6 and congrats on your first P!

Airmitch I have one on order production completion on 5/27 should have it by first week of July here in California. Did your dealer give you the MSRP on the car with all your Mods? Im leasing mine and they dont even have any programs for it yet basically when i pick it up they will surprise me! LOL I drove the 2010 Cab TT PDK and WOW cant believe the TTS will be even faster.

Let me know I got a Meteor Gray Black Interior with Carbon trimming etc.

You will not be disapointed with this car! Just be prepared to spend big bucks on mods if you hang around here!
