New Turbo S

I bought this Turbo S after using this website over the past couple of years to dial in the specs. Thanks so much all the great discussion and insights. My only real vanity extravagance is yellow stitching. I wanted yellow dials but couldn't wait 6+ months for a later build. My first mod is a Passport 9500 ci. My second mod is in customs now, an EP 1 exhaust. Probably suspension next.

This is my first Porsche, so I can't really compare it with anything except my BMW 745i(sold) and BMW M3(daily driver). Of course, there is no comparison. I launched at 2000.000001 miles. Still Grinning.

Attached are break-in photos from my daytrips in the San Francisco Bay area. Let me know if you have a favorite, I'm just starting to shoot autos and feedback would be great.

Looks great. Enjoy in good health.
Shooting a p-car is different than shooting cars. There are curves and angles which show the car off the most. Favorite shot has to be from above, coke bottle shape at its best. Also look for shots that showcase the rear curve, and the fat rear tires...


interior pics? should be interesting with yellow stitch

Is your Turbo S a manual or PDK?

Congratulations! And enjoy with the pure joy that these cars impart to their owners. If you get crazy enough, you may get an ailment that inclines you to track the car. Then maybe a suspension upgrade (it already has enough power!). We are lucky to drive these wonderful machines.

Welcome to Porsche!
Nice work. I like #2 & #5 as artwork. I could see Porsche using #1 in a brochure.
