Just the way you wanted it, congrats and I hope you love it.

 

I've cleaned my wheels about 3 times in 900km because they were getting very dark with dust with teh factory pads :/.

 

Congratulations Terry!
The car looks absolutely fabulous!
Its screaming from every angle "lets have a very good time together!"

 

Please don’t leave…

 

Tom Cochran, I have a {Surprise} for you and of course all that are interested after I reply to all the comments here.

Yes, we do have that RL in common.
I do so like the decals especially after seeing them in person.
As you know I want see Plus-5K RPMs for awhile but that's okay the wait will be worth it I'm thinking.

Thank-You ............ kind Sir.

Amen brother ............

Oh you can count on me sharing what I think but that's going to be a lot later buddy.
But I will do it !!!

Thanks Big-Guy and believe me not only am I well pleased but so is the wife which is the real reason I have the GT4.
Oh, love the Two-Thumbs-Up "Dawg".

I'll let you know what I think but that's going to sometime from now buddy.

Hi Canada Rennlist member and thanks for dropping by.
Yes, it's exactly the way I want it.

I HATE the dreaded BLACK brake-dust from the stock-pads.

We will definitely be enjoying ourselves while in our Porsche machines that's for sure.

He ain't gonna go anywhere he knows we would go in person and Drag his Butt back. LOL !!!

Terry

 

Greetings everyone,

Below is something I actually did for a Longgggg time Home Theater and Car buddy in San Antonio, Texas.
Mr. Thomas (Tom) Cochran and I go way back to when we both had our Limited Edition Bullitt Mustangs which was 2008.
Tom and I are both Way-way into the Audio/Video thing as well as Sport Cars.
He was with H/P (Hewlett-Packard) in Europe for many years as an Executive and while their he had an RS 911 Porsche as I recall, (I could be wrong on the exact Model).
So Tom has went through all different cars over the years as I have.
And then the two of us have the Audio/Video Media-Room/Home Theater thing in common.
He has also flown here multiple times as well as him and his brother Cal Cochran driving up to spend a week visiting.
Tom and I in Cathy's office when he was here years ago visiting we had a Great time.



So, that ^^^ was a little background on us Olddddd farts as some say ...........

Tom, I know you wanted to be here in person but this might work as a substitute buddy.

Okay, Tom I didn't forget you and here is the GT4 on it's very 1st Start-Up leaving Porsche of Nashville's showroom.

Porsche Cayman 718 GT4 delivery at Porsche of Nashville

.




Lastly, I did receive my last invoice from Chris owner of (Marlin's Auto Detailing) yesterday.
And let me say once again if any of you want the Best of the Best get in touch with Chris.
He has cars sent to him from all over the place.
One has to get in-line but his Expertise is worth the wait !!!



Later guys and thank for dropping by,
Terry

 

Can’t wait to hear future updates from you.
Since you do it so often, I think that you should embrace the “Two Thumbs Up” as your trademark.
I’d even make two small decals of it and add it to your car somewhere… maybe lower bottom fender behind the wheels?
Just a thought.

 

Hi Terry,

Hey buddy, thanks for the nice write-up you did about our long friendship.
Indeed, we have spent years together sharing our mutual hobbies of performance cars and audio-visual gear.
We could fill a book detailing our many adventures together, whether at your fabulous Home Theater or at the dragstrip.

I really appreciate you taking the time to do that video of your GT4 being started at Porsche of Nashville and the engine revs.
Watching that (more than once) was almost like being there.
I must say the exhaust sounds deeper than I expected. Love it!

The Porsche I had while living in Europe was a 1974 911 Carrera RS 2.7.
Porsche only made about 1600 of them in 1973-1974 as I recall and they are still beautiful cars.
Only 210 horsepower but they could scoot 0 to 60 in about 5.8 seconds and the sound was really nice all the way to the 7200 red line.
Many times on various autobahns in Europe I topped her out at 250 km/hr (155 mph.)
She got a little light in the front over 210 km/hr but I was young and perhaps a halfwit at times.
Here is a photo of the car identical to mine with the exception that I did not have the side decals:



Thanks again Terry for the trip down memory lane with that photo of us in your office and for the video.
Enjoy the hell out of that GT4. I think it is fair to say that is going to be the most fun car you have ever owned.

Your San Antonio friend,
Tom

 

Hello Tom,

As you know I've been beyond bust with the GT4 on a daily basis.

So that's the Porsche from back when you were in Europe.
I'm glad you posted the picture of it.

Terry

 

Greetings,

Below is what I have been doing everyday guys.

Here I am at Shell getting my breakfast biscuit and chocolate milk.
Fill GT4 up and away I go until dark each day.
















Lastly,

I have now completed the 1st 1,000 miles of the 2,000 miles break in.
I am doing this per Porsche Guide-Lines.
No RPM over 4,000.
No lugging the engine.
No cruise-control.

I'm 100% driving using the Sport Mode.
I am not using the Exhaust Mode which to some of you will be a surprise I think.
I am Turning-Off the Auto-Start-Feature.




Terry

 

Woooohoooo! You’ve made excellent progress in a short time.

I hardly ever turn on the exhaust. I find it doesn’t add much to my experience, and especially on a longer drive I prefer it as quiet as possible inside the cabin. My dealer deleted the sound symposer which made it a little quieter with less drone at highway speeds.

Your car blends nicely with the Shell yellow/red accent theme

 

Dive the snot out of it!

(go easy on the breakfast biscuits)

 

1k already? Holy crap, you don’t mess around! It took me months.
And trust me Terry, you know yourself that the rings have seated… she’s broken in.
Enjoy

 

I think I’m most impressed that you’ve lived so long eating gas station sausage biscuits!

 

Oh, you did the sound symposer delete on the stock set-up? % wise, how much volume and drone did it remove would you say?

Would love to hear more on the noises it reduces/eliminates.
