Yeah, I have the Spyder on order so anything I can do to make it a bit more comfortable in Normal mode will go a long way to not having to listen to the wife bitch about how stiff the car is. Especially coming from an RS6 Avant luxury barge on Air.

Nice! I too have an RS6 Avant (2014), although I opted for Dynamic Ride Control instead of Air Suspension — it's absolutely perfect in Comfort but *extremely* harsh in Sport. Last week I picked up my Cayman GTS 4.0, still breaking it in so haven't pushed it yet, but my initial take is that Comfort is nice (although a bit on the harsh side), while Sport is only slightly more harsh (almost indistinguishable). My understanding of the DSC box is that it gives Comfort a softer setting while it makes Sport a bit harsher. Can anyone confirm if this is the case for the GTS or if it's optimised for the GT4/Spyder only? If widens the gap between Comfort and Sport on the GTS, I think it might be a nice addition further down the road.

I hope we see videos, too!

Also, I want to mention that the Porsche Cam App is available for download so I checked it out. The P-cam looks like it may have some nice features. I've been checking out Blackvue and a few others, but think I'd like to keep this on the list as well. maybe they can do a retrofit.

This is one of the things I am really excited for on my upcoming GT4 delivery. It will be my 1st Carbon Ceramic Braked car. It will also by my 1st Porsche and my 1st mid-engine.

So many 1sts coming with this car. Nov. can not come fast enough.

I am sooo looking forward to not having to spend 45 mins. cleaning my wheels on a Saturday evening after getting it washed on a Saturday morning.

Congrats! And exactly same for me. All were firsts! And it’s quite surreal. Will it be your first matching yellow Porsche Yeti cup too?

I’ve joined the “buy stuff for a car I won’t have for months” club.

In 1 day, I bought:
- jack pucks (thanks Porsches4all)
- Esco rubber topped, low profile jack stands
- LWBS seat tilt brackets from Auto Quest

Go hard or go home. What’s next?

I’ll evaluate after car arrival. This is very subjective, and plenty of folks are happy as is. Plenty aren’t, but no sense spending thousands before I know which I am.

Where did you get that coffee cup? I like it.

I'm behind in the ordering. I need to get frunk/brunk liners; cargo tray net, exhaust valve controller (which one is best? Cargraphic controller?), Soul or Akrapovic exhaust link pipes, and clear markers.
EDIT: Oh, and weathertech floor liners; cell phone mount, radar detector mount and wire tap (which wire tap works for this car?)

And then do Symposium delete.

What else?

Check this out - it’s a pre- and post-delivery list I’ve been curating.
