My one complaint is that I do wish the car downshifted more like the regular PDK. It's almost too quick. The car doesn't really need to rev match, which take a bit of the fun out of it.
Can you please elaborate on this? I have driven both 997.2 and 991 PDKs before. If you are crusing along in 4rd gear (in manual mode) it automatically downshifts to 1st when coming to a stop. Is this different with the PDK-S?

I think in normal mode, it does automatically down shift, but once sport mode is on, it will not down shift automatically.

Yes, sorry about that. To clarify, the PDK-S does automatically downshift into first while approaching a stop in manual mode. It clunks and clangs its way into first, but it does it automatically.

The PDK Sport button doesn't affect the manual mode. Its a bit odd because the button will light up when pressed, but it doesn't do anything. PDK Sport only operates when in Automatic mode. On the street, PDK Sport Auto is basically worthless. It's clearly designed for the track as the car keeps the revs rather high.
I had my awesome tint guy do the usual to my GT3 last week. I always get Llumar AirBlue 80 on the entire front windshield and Llumar Formula One Pinnacle Ceramic Film on the rest of the car in 15%. The car comes out a little dark in some of the photos, but it's not as dark in person.
The Ceramic tint works pretty darn well in FL. I always do a little darker to protect the interior and eliminate the need to wear sunglasses. Knock on wood, I haven't gotten in trouble with the law yet.
I was a little too lazy to take the car to a better location to shoot it, so I apologize for that. I also shot at exactly noon, which is the worst possible time. There are nasty shadows everywhere, but the car still looks cool.
Wow. I love it! Your car looks way better than the blue one I saw recently at a local Cars-n-Coffee.
Random photography question: How much post work did you do to those pics? Some of them have an almost HDR quality to them, but without the usual overdose of HDR-ness... They look great is what I'm saying.

I had to doctor these up a bit as they were heavy on the shadows. I have an action in Lightroom 4 that does an auto adjustment. This blue has been tough for me to shoot with my very limited skills.

Those are some incredible photos! The color is so bright and vibrant. I just wish Sapphire Blue looked like that in person!
I am the biggest blue fan around, but Sapphire it just isn't as bright and vibrant as I would want in most lighting conditions. These most recent pictures you posted make it look like a more metallic version of Voodoo Blue than the actual color.
My 991 GT3 spec was originally for Riviera Blue, but when PTS went into no-go mode I just couldn't do Sapphire. Thus I have resigned myself to awesomely ordinary White with my freeze date only a few days away...
Hey Money, any thoughts on trading your wheels for the silver ones from another car that wants dark gray? I think the silver wheels on blues look amazing and help the blue stand out.
