Huge HUGE welcome to Spyder Nation! Congrats!

Option list?

 

well here are some pics, 2011, sport wheel, PDK, paddles, sport chrono, sport, sport plus, full leather seats, some additional weight: A/C, stereo, cup holders (but I'm OK with these), 21,000 miles, Borla sport exhaust. I am speechless after 3 days of ownership and figuring out PDK paddles manual sport mode, I'm an old manual all my life guy with a '87 911 Coupe and '89 951 Coupe (I had trepidations as I will be selling the 911). The Spyder is beyond awesome, I drove it top down (I love this top up or down and going through the procedure, German brilliance) on one of my regular routes and when finished I said do it again, so I did. I will notify all my Porsche friends you MUST drive PDK paddles manual sport mode and if you can do it in a Spyder even better. I am thrilled to be in the Web, thanks for all the kind welcomes.

 

Congrats! And the best color, lol.

 

 

I pretty much echo everything you just said, always drive on the street in manual/sport as well and love it. How does the Borla sound? Always thought that would be a great setup.

 

the Borla is loud, I'm very ok with it, it adds to the overall experience, in manual sport with paddles I'm like living in Formula 1 world! I've noticed thus far that in automatic on the highway, top up it shifts quickly up to seventh gear and at 80 MPH settles at 2100 RPM and gives a drone. The solution? Drive manual sport mode, manage the RPMs and you will not have the drone, Also top down gets rid of drone. This car is my favorite.
