Default It's good to be back!



Picked it up last week. I've managed to put a couple hundred miles on it since then. Performance is still awesome, just like I remember. However still taking it easy to break in the new engine.

Funny it's been so long I'd forgotten how to use most of the electronic features. Have to relearn everything.

They gave me the warranty extension document at pickup. But no check yet.

Congrats Chuck! I really liked your "Suspension Overview" article (its on my reading list for quick access)!

Now that you have the car back, can you kindly give us your impressions on suspension compared to 997 GT3 and/or 991 Carrera S perhaps? and maybe elaborate on how closely the 991 GT3's suspension is related to the CUP car?

And specifically, Chuck, if you could talk to the difference between the McLaren 650S, Ferrari 458 Speciale and the GT3 and its racing variants. The 650S and 458 have double wishbone front suspension as does the RSR apparently whereas the GT3 has Macpherson struts - is the GT3 setup outdated?

Zulu, we are actually preparing similar suspension overviews for the Carrera S and the 991 GT3 Cup cars now. We'll be releasing these soon.


Dan39, I have no first-hand experience with the McLaren or the Ferrrari 458. If anyone wants to bring them by I would be happy to evaluate, in detail.

That's great news Chuck! I hope it's long, intensive and has plenty of pics. I know you wouldn't fall short in that department. It will be my bed time story.
