Had no idea what I was missing! So, so simple and good and tight and fun and pure. My car was optioned as a drivers car for sure - 4 way seats, MT, old school key where you have to press buttons and insert/turn in the ignition (gasp!). It's a dream. Trying to find a good coding app so I can tweak a few of the electronic bits but DANG it's good right out of the box.
Yes it is that good 😊. I am also an ex M2C MT owner. Let me know if you find the App. Longtime BMW M car owner and I don’t know why I waited so long to get my first Porsche

After all this time I still havent warmed up to the looks of the G8x. Especially parked next to the 718 the G8x just looks huge and mismatched.

congrats on the switch! I love that chalk color! I am pretty sure you beat me to the CGTS from Porsche riverside while I was on the phone with the sales and trying to take her home. The spec is perfect!
