I saw this car yesterday in South San Fran and it is remarkable. It's clean and mean. Congrats Chris88.

That was me! Where'd you see me? I took it up to show a good Porsche buddy who's business is out near Genentech. Glad it looked remarkable and clean. I can't stop turning and looking back at it after parking

Good advise, I will try that tactic. The buracracy is silly.

Good question. I am absolutely happy with the standard interior. It looks just fine and I now am glad I didn't spend any money on extra leather. The standard dash looks just fine.

The suspension around here is also much more comfortable than expected. My wife even said "it rides much better than expected and the LWB seats are more confortahbe then I thought they'd be. We need to take a weekend trip soon." I switched the shocks to the firm setting and she said "that's what I thought the car would feel like." On another note (I've already commented on this), the standard radio is much, much better than I expected. Listening to some old Led Zeppelin (Ramble On) today sounded great, although, I find myself turning it down often to hear the other music from the rear of the car.

As far as driving impressions, it's extraordinary. I've never felt so connected, and "at one" with a car. It simply feels perfect, and only gets better with every mile. The only negative is that I've already scraped the lip spoiler a few times (neglected to use front lift). Anyone who says the lift is not needed, must only drive in perfectly flat areas. I'm going to put it on my bother's lift tomorrow and see what else I amy have scraped. Needless to say, staying under 4 grand is frustrating...much more than expected. I feel like the car teases you as you get to about 3800 RPM's, as it just starts to feel special at that point.

Fantastic - Sounds like you are loving the car which unsurprising but at the same time is awesome to hear. I have no idea how I will be able to restrain myself from taking the car well past 4k on delivery once the engine/drivetrain is warm lol. My GT3 will end up in CA (unsure of SF or LA yet) so I was curious to get your impressions on the suspension and Im happy to hear that its more comfortable than you expected.

The scraping already scares me coming from a standard .2 Carrera, it will be a cross to bear with this car but likely minor in the grand scheme of things...curious to see when you get it on the lift if it was just the front plastic lip or other parts of the underbody/rear diffuser

Hey Chris - would it be possible to post a couple of pics from the front?

Loving reading your impressions of the car. Makes my wait that much more exciting

Sure. Let me know if you want anymore shots this morning, as I'll be traveling for a while. And yes, I need a new driveway...coming soon.

Glad I went for the silver wheels, I like how they match the silver trim.
