Woke up this morning with this:


and am heading off to sleep this evening with this:

 

Congrats on your new baby. Gorgeous!

Must have been quite a day for you.

 

Gorgeous, love that pic w/ the TT, that's definite wallpaper material!

 

Congrats on the turbo S. Could you post your impressions on driving each car?

One more pic:



The cars are very different. The SL65 is comfortable, quiet, smooth, and very fast once it gets traction at around 70 MPH; the powerband never lets up or pauses. The S63 is much slower, also quiet and comfy and definitely a long sedan with sticky tires and good brakes. The 997 so far is the sports car of the bunch - stiff suspension, a bit bouncy and louder, and with the best grip and corner-exit power of the bunch. I'll need to wait until I finish break-in miles to give a full report.

 

I knew you would pull the trigger on one! After you posted on the other forum!

Btw I just got the Evoms tune and it makes a world of difference!

 

Yah, this was a case of desire meeting opportunity. I was not driving the ZR1 very much. I still had fond memories of my Protomotive 997. I wandered into a Porsche dealer (it was across the street from my Jeep dealer) and they happened to have two Turbo S Cabs on the lot which they wanted to move. The ZR1 ad went onto the web that evening; it sold the next day, and we drove the Turbo home that afternoon.

 

How does the Tesla compare w/ the rest of your stable?

 

Great shot of the ZR1,never seen a Vette pic look soooo badddasss
Enjoy the S

 

Treynor from back in the SF SVB Supra/Viper days?

That turbo S looks good, but hit up Alex for some clear turn signals.

One and the same And thanks for the reminder about clear turns, that was the first thing I changed on my '07.

It's a great car, but very different from a dyno-burner. No transmission, no powerband, no lag - you touch the throttle, the car jumps. Very very quick 0-40 (think sticky tires, 65% rear weight distribution, and perfect traction control). Above 70 MPH it's a 280HP, 2800lb car... brisk, but not fast. Perfect commuter vehicle since I can drive it in the carpool lane.

 

congrats enjoy your new baby

 

Just drove a friend's 997 turbo yesterday. He bought a ZR1 a few months ago after trading in his 996TTS. Hated the ZR1 and went back to a 911 turbo. I told him it was the right thing to do. Beautiful Atlas Gray with red interior plenty of CF and AWE upgrades. (flash/exhaust/headers/VTG billet wheels) BTW.... white FTW!! Very nice, enjoy it!
