Smile My 1st 50 miles
Picked up the car yesterday and this car is amazing. Even while keeping it under 4k rpm on the way home, you can get some serious acceleration pulling away from traffic.
The exhaust note wasn't as quiet as I expected but still miss my PSE though. I think the exhaust will me the 1st mod. I noticed the clutch is really soft and the friction point is near the top.
This took some getting use to. This car was worth the wait.

I haven't even tried it yet, hope it's better than it was on my C2S which was way to rough on the local roads. Your car looks awesome also

Congrats! I only have 1200 miles on mine. It gets better and better. BTW the first thing I did driving off the lot was hit the sport button. It makes a significant difference and you will find yourself with it engaged most of the time. The suspension setting on mine is normal 95% of the time....just too stiff for me.

what keeps on bugging me is that all of these people are ordering custom stitching and Porsche won't do the shifter! or the e brake! but that's just me. Your car looks great! congrats!

Dave - Great car!! If you don't mind, what did your car sticker for? I ask because you have a lot of the same leather/stitching options I would (will?) do...

Again, beautiful car - Congrats!
