Congrats on the new car. I came from a full bolt-on, stock turbo 2010 GT-R. Had an E85 calibration and the whole deal. You are right, the power is not nearly as linear as the GT-R, but it is more interesting after you get used to it. A regular drive is more of an event in the 911 than the GT-R. The engine and weight transfer from the rear is different, and I liked how it sounds like a prop driven airplane on the interstate.
The good news is that with a few mods, you can make the 997 faster than the GTR on the factory turbos if you so desire. Mine is substantially faster than my old car, with my best 60-130 of 5.9 in the Porsche, and a 6.7 in the GT-R, both on E85 of course.

Thanks again.. Now time to decide if I can tune the car and still maintain my extended warranty, lol.
