Default 4,000 mile update

4,000 miles. I miss the 997 MT, but not enough to regret getting the 991. Like the 997, if you're bored you can "make a move" and get a thrill with a flick of the wrist and step on the gas.....a thrill that's as good or better than an "old time" 911 thrill.

And I still haven't tried the launch mode....

Funny, Ionly have 300 miles on my new 991 and was thinking the same thing...I am missing the MT on my 997.2 C2S but the overall 991 is not disappointing! Still have to try the launch mode as well.

I love the 991 MT. You can make a move in any gear. Or a bigger move by dropping a gear.

I love my new P car. I also love walking the dog. This is my first Porsche so no comparison disappointments. Still trying to decide if the price was worth the experience. Only time will tell.
