G Forces
For those of you with cars, who have driven them before the stop sale/drive, what levels of G-Forces have you seen?
I checked my car and I got these...anyone else want to share?

Ha, Mike. All I can say is that this is the single most fun car I have driven, and I have driven a lot of cars. Drove my friend's R8 V10 Plus today, and while exciting for a minute, and has a lot of torque, it cannot hold a candle to the 991 GT3 as a pure sports car. He is gonna order a GT3, too.

Thanks. Your acceleration is way higher than anything I got in the GT3. Did you achieve yours through launch control? Perhaps I had a loose conrod bolt? Yeah, that's my excuse.

Guys I have a couple of questions for those who had the brief time with the car before the stop order
What's the deal with TPM, has a track mode feature? can you monitor psi as you are driving on the track?
And what about the electric parking brake ? does one have to manually turn a switch for it on?
I only have 5 plus months till I can find out for myself.

The electric brake switch is a broad toggle switch at the lower left corner of the dash. You push it to set it. To release, you pull. Or if you are belted in, door closed, and with the engine on, when you press the throttle to drive off it releases automatically.

Yup, the TPM track mode feature lets you set and then monitor pressures on track that are different from the street pressure settings. Basically you adjust the tires to your desired pressure, enter it into the computer, and it's monitored from that baseline. Tire pressures are updated in the "Circuits" display every 5 seconds for 15 minutes. The electric brake switch is a broad toggle switch at the lower left corner of the dash. You push it to set it.
