No worries just wanted to make sure everyone understood how high the DFI works at.

Right. That's 40-120 Bar or 580-1740 PSI, an extremely high pressure.

Did you take it to the dealer to diagnose the problem?

A Dias -Thanks for asking. No, probably this week - if things slow down at work. Will keep y'all informed.

Got the car back

The dealer had the car for 5 days while we waited for the part to come in from Germany. It's fixed now and they said it was just a faulty fuel pump, first one they've seen. I hope that doesn't happen again.

How did you like the Cayman S in comparison to your 911?

The Cayman S was great.. Light, rigid, quick and so neutral, but not a 911. The 997.2 feels so much more substantial, so much faster and the PDK is so much better than the tiptronic!!!
