Default Introduction of a new 991.1 owner



Hello all,

Intro to my new (to me) 991.1 Carrera 4, not a lot of love for the 4 here, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it on a 600 mile road trip. PCA Instructor, and longtime E46 M3 owner, and now race car builder/owner. What an amazing machine this Carrera is, refined, great GT car with PDK for the new wife to drive when I'm on the road, which is most of the year. Bought to enjoy in Europe on my new move to England, where it was meant to roam amongst the roads of mainland Europe!

First impressions: I'm getting used to the looks from others and wish I could see it when driving with the great rear end and Carrera 4 light bar, I'm sure it's quite the show when passing. Very neat front dash functionality and the easiest car to drive quickly with the torque metering. Not the Carrera I will die with in my garage but a great GT with much versatility in weather.

Can anyone guess where this picture was taken?

991.1 C4 PDK, many options, Rhodium Silver, a color which has grown on me. Happy to be in a Porsche 911 finally! Hope to see more of your cars on the race track!

Cheers, Feuerbach

There is no hate for the C4 here either. I think the car looks great. Wide body and the light bar is pretty spectacular.
Great pic and congrats. Here is mine:

Beautiful car, enjoy it in good health!

You are going to take it to England and drive on the wrong side of the road? Did I understand you correctly?

Congrats. Silver C4 991 owner also. For me, it's pretty close to the perfect car.

Welcome, enjoy your new ride. I imagine driving a left hand drive car will have is challenges back in England, especially a low slung vehicle like the 911. Regardless, it shall certainly be one of few in that regard. Have lots of fun!
