Porsche Newbie here :)

I just picked up this Carrera C4S this past weekend and I absolutely love it. It's surprisingly pretty comfortable and a blast to drive. In comparison to my previous Audi, this car is like a go kart. Puts a smile on my face every time I get in it

Here is a quick picture I snapped. Please excuse the quality as I had no tripod with me.

Welcome!

Sweet set-up with the Aero kit, sport chrono and I see the adaptive sport seats!

We all expect better pictures in the near future.

Enjoy,

It is indeed my first p-car. I was originally looking at the new Jaguar XKR, but obviously this was a better choice.

Where can I get more information on the hacienda meet up? I can't make it this Saturday as I have an event to attend north of LA, but I'll keep it in mind for the future.

I've heard some things about Cars and coffee as well. Is that in Orange County?

jolly...............I know how you feel.

My first P car is 6 weeks old now. Just wait until you get through the break-in period and start feeling the torque between 4500 and 6500 rpm.

And they say it just gets better, better and better..............

Welcome and drive safely!!

Thanks everyone! This car sure is a head turner! I had the clear bra installed today, and I am definitely happy with the results. Big thanks to Dave at Spectrum Collision!

I'll try to snap some better pictures of the car tomorrow .
