2011 911 Turbo S
 

I finally got the 2011 911 Turbo S.

I ordered in August, 2010 and the car got here end of December and I got the delivery on 1/4/2011 TUE... Finally!!!

This has been my longest wait in my car purchasing history. Never waited for something this long but it's worth the wait.

I am quite picky when it comes to options.

The reason I ordered it was because from Porsche factory, most cars come with options that I don't need and I don't want; AND they don't come with options that I want!

I opted for the no-cost Sports Bucket seats (2-tone) option that is an expensive option for most other cars. Got the white gauges for the speedometer/tachometer part and Sport Chrono.

Also, got the clear taillights and body-color painted center console. The car is White and the seats are White/Black.

The car wasn't as fast as I thought it would be since I'm already spoiled with the 458 that I got the delivery in August last year. But it's quite good. I think these two cars are about the same in terms of acceleration. Off the line is better with the 911 since it has the AWD and PDK (and "usable" launch control) but on the highway speeds, I think these two cars are neck to neck although I haven't tested them yet.

I will post more writings when I get some more feedback with my new car.http://images-2.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/...es/smLach2.gif

Congrats - Hope to see some pics - or bring it to Cars and Coffee Saturday (and the 458!)

Yes, I will bring it to Cars & Coffee but how will you and I know each other? ;:eek:

Very nice jay saw your 458 last time at c&c car looks so much hotter in person. Congrats on the turboS.

Thanks!

Wow... It seems like there are more people at Cars & Coffee than I think! How did you know it was "my" 458?

Ha seen you with your pix and the 458 on this forum and then u were revving the car. Sounds so :eek:

Can't really miss it hilarious

Oh, ok... Please say hello next time you see me~! ;-)

For sure next time. Btw I see that you have a fleet of white cars would've loved to see a white Fcar don't see those too often, but then again it's a fcar gotta be red.

I'm really not a fan of white cars. The reason I bought the white FX50 and Escalade was because those are our family cars and I get hot a lot. Last time I had black F430, GT-R and GL450 I couldn't handle the heat. So, I decided to go with White color this time.

The reason I got the Corsa Red 458 and White Turbo S was because, in my opinion, Ferrari looks the best in Corsa Red and 911s look the best in White. No other reasons. It just happened to be that I have three white cars and one red car whereas the one before I had three black cars and one gray car.

Here is the chart of colors that I think look good on:

Mercedes -> White
BMW -> Gray
Corvette -> Blue, White, Yellow
Porsche -> White
Ferrari -> Red
Lamborghini -> Any fancy color such as Green, Orange, Yellow...
Lancer EVO -> Blue, White
STI -> Blue
Cadillacs -> White, Black, Silver

By the way, my "the" favorite color is Blue. I debated a lot whether I should get a Light Blue (new color for 2011 911s) for the Turbo S. I love the color and it fits my preference. But I bought it White because I think it looks the best in White. ;)

Congrats on the new Turbo S! Looking forward to pictures of it. I agree White does look best on the P-cars. I think I saw your 458 at C&C as well, it sounds amazing!! Very nice collection you have! If I go tomorrow I will stop by and say hi.

Yeah... Let's meet up! I will bring my Turbo S tomorrow.hilarious

Wasn't ableto make it today, let me know the next time you go. Were you able to get any pictures :D

Yes, I went there and met a few friends from FerrariChat and 6speedonline.

I will post some pics tonight.

I was there this morning. Saw a white Turbo S with Circle Porsche paper plate on it parked near the end of the lot. Not sure if that's yours. Beautiful car either way.

Yes, that was it. ;-):D

I saw it too - looks awesome. That was one of the best C&Cs I've been to in a long time - reminded me of the old days at Crystal Cove

Yes it was nice indeed!

can't wait to see it! if only i knew you were going to C&C last sat. next time i'll be there :D

Yeah... Missed you last SAT. I thought I told you, though... :-(

Anyway, see you next SAT. But next SAT, I was planning to take the 458 instead since that can I don't get to drive too much because I only drive the FX50, Turbo S and Escalade to work...

Low end power is better with Turbo S but because of Turbo. On freeways, they are about the same, although I haven't tested them together.

Handling is better with the 458 although I feel more comfortable with the Turbo S in general overall driving.

Who all is going to coffee & cars and what time do most people start showing up?

~A

I usually show up at around 7:30.

As opposed to... :confused:

458 Italia. This car has the launch control but because it's a RWD it does not fully work as well as the Turbo S or regular Turbo PDK.

Gotcha.

I've never driven a 458, much less launched one, to even know that.

Thanks.

Are you gonna be there?

Where is it at?

Woodland Hills Super Car Sunday

I see... Maybe I could go...

Jay are you going to be at C&C tomorrow? Thinking about going..

Yes, but I'm taking my 458 tomorrow, though...

Jay, I thought you were going to give us a call when you got the car?! Let me know what you want to get it on the dyno for some tuning. Congrats on the delivery, I can't wait to check itout.

Sorry... I thought everyone knew it since I did post the thread saying that I got one... ;-)

Well, you have had a bit of time to break it in, let's make it a bit more fun to drive.

Yes, please email me at jayturbo1@hotmail.com the details about it. What MSRP is, what dealer cost is (You know I own an automotive industry related company) and what the HP gain is.

Last SAT, we had a run against my 458 Italia, tuned GTR and tuned Z06. Had to see that first when it was bone stock.

458 was actually a tick faster in the 100~200 MPH range. 50~100MPH range, they are neck to neck and obviously 0-50MPH range Turbo S eats 458 for breakfast due to turbo surge and AWD.

Thanks!

ygm!

By the way, as you've noticed, this car was sold last October, 2011.

Just don't know how to unpost this post... :-(
