Just got my 997...WOW!!!
I just picked up my 997 yesterday after waiting for almost 6 months. I drove a Vette for 5 years and thought that was the most exciting car.
Not anymore...WOW!!! The experience of driving my new 997 can't be described. One of the cool things is that my daughter can go with the wife and I when we feel like going for a drive. She is pretty excited about it as well.
Looking forward to sharing experiences with you all.

Congrats. I know just how you feel. I sold my Z06 and picked up a 997S. Now my son and wife can join me at the same time! I didn't think anything could be more fun to drive than the Z06 but I was wrong. I still love Corvettes and was debating getting a C6 Z06, but the 997 is just in another league. It's not all about who can get to the end of the 1/4 mile the quickest.

Congrats.
The Porsche sound is a lot better isn't it? I get put off by the sound of a Vette. Something about it that rubs me the wrong way, much like Harley Davidson - very low tech and unsophisticated IMO. There are so many things about a vette that I don't like - seats, interior quality. It does have great performance and tremedous value though.
Did you get a 997S? Why the 6 months wait? Unless you had one build to your spec, standard 997 are abundant.

Congratulations!! It will get even better as you become more familiar with the car. Follow the "Hints" for breaking it in contained in your Porsche Owner's Manual.
