2015 jet black metallic first drive
Just to ensure that my frame of mind was focused and centered I took my 997.1 gt3. (The goat) out for a journey this morning. Running business errands I was trying to ensure in my mind all of the great and wonderful things this car does. The rough idle. The third pedal that constantly ensures your testosterone level is at the top of the scale , that visceral feeling when you engage the rhythms necessary to propel you forward in a fluid and sensual motion .
Steering, hearing, and feel are the things that make this car such an incredible , tactile beast . The essence of speed at your fingertips ,a raw, almost uncontrolled essence of power . These were the memories that I have enjoyed for the 6 years I have owned this car.
Alas. That all changed for me at 3 pm today.
I took possession of a 2015 991 gt3. All things considered my delivery was simple and short. Controls are very similar. Comfortable ,easy, simple and right at hand. All things where they are supposed to be .
Then, I turned the key. Right away. Something was different. The rough idle was still there but there was a new sense. A sense of raw power. A willingness if you will . This , need, a desire to move, and to move quickly. They opened the doors from the showroom floor and for the first time at my hands, he edged into the daylight. A rare sunny high temperature day in the northern climes that I live in . Turning to the first street off the lot there is a collective sigh as the beast finally realizes it's free. Free at last. And what a beast it is. With 14 k on the clock it revs freely and needs to push the envelope. Oil temp is coming up and I want to push him. But restraint settles in. At least till the oil reaches 90 . Cruising is not possible as the beast rushes to rev. It needs to be released There is no push here as the car wants, desires, needs to go as fast as it can. So I let it. He pushes the envelope faster and faster. Into his first hard double ess. The car grips and grips and then grips some more. His older sister would have been pensive, the driver perhaps a little reluctant , but not today, not in this car , accelerating harder out of the corner and onto the straight. He goes freely revving through the gears. An unbelievable ride
Without being poetic this car is away and above , on a new level , better than anything I have ever owned it grips and turns in with a confidence that is shocking it's free revving and just needs to be unleashed. Truly. Those of you that own know what I'm talking about. Those of you that are waiting. Trust me. It's is Sooooo worthy of the wait. An amazing vehicle. One you are going to want to keep.
All of us on this forum will tell you what to expect. But believe me when I say. Simple words cannot express what a truly exceptional ride you are about to enjoy. Have faith. You won't be disappointed

Your passion for your newest addition to the family is so awesome! If it's not too much trouble, please see if you can find a regular black Porsche to take some baby photos beside, so we can see the difference in the new colour. Congratulations!

I was a cat c so first of the converted 2014/5 cars no option to get buckets mine are 18 way. I got the sport chrono because it was a 400 option that got carried over so that's all I had to pay. For the 2100 bucks they want today for it I might have passed but I like the look of it.
