first impressions
First, the car is just plain awesome, I've been dreaming about a Turbo since I saw my first one in 1977. Now it's mine!
the power is intoxicating as many others have said. I also notice that the engine revs up quicker on heel toe downshifts than the 3.4 996.
The salesguy told me to break it in hard, because of a harder piston ring Porsche uses in the TT and GT3 engines. This comes directly from the PCNA techs supposedly. I have always used the factory recommendations so there must be a happy medium.
The PCM seems rather user unfriendly, it will take some time.
Meteor is a great color, turns very dark in low light conditions. Goes well with the dark Cocoa interior. What's with the coating they put on the leather?? Some kind of Armor All or something, makes everything slick, smells very "chemical", overpowers everything else. I wished they would not have done that. That's my only gripe.
The whole purchase experience from the day I ordered to delivery was painless. I also received a very fair trade on my 996. I highly recommend Porsche West Houston, Carlos and Brian are excellent.
