One more day. Can't wait. I studied and pondered over my build for about 5 months. Only had about a 10 minute test drive about 5 months ago in a PDk (loved it but I'm old school). There are no dealers close to me. I've only seen about 3 991's in the flesh. Thursday may be one of the best days ever!! I just finished a bottle of red so I can get a little sleep lol

This is a very clean cold looking color. What 's your interior choice?

Congrats! Beautiful car! I was feeling similarly last Wednesday when I took delivery of my Agate with Agate/Pebble C2S. Have you already gotten your windows tinted?

Hi Lebreeze, gorgeous car man, congrats. Interesting to see you also have an M3. I love the M3 but never owned nor driven one. Could you give a comparison/review of Carrera vs M3 for us ? I always love to hear first hand from people that own and drive them as I'm a bit fed up with the endless rehashing that the car mags do.

Interested in Lebreeze's view and don't mean to jack the thread, but I drove a M3 for 3 years before picking up my 991 C2S about a month ago, so I can also offer an opinion. My opinion is quite simple. The 991 is head and shoulders above the M3. The handling is better, razor sharp when compared to the M3. The clutch pedal and gearshift are worlds better (M3 clutch was spongy and shift was sort of rubbery with long throws). And the 991 seems to have a better, linear power delivery off the line as well. The interior is no contest, as the M3 is a dated platform now while the 991 is fresh. The S65 engine in the M3 was special at the upper end of the rev range, though. After a couple of days with the 991, I called the dealer and told him that I think the wrong company has the motto "The Ultimate Driving Machine."

PLEASE move those tools on the wall.
Or switch places with the BMW.

Beautiful Lebreeze. Congrats!

I'm anxiously waiting for you to post additional pics as I'm getting ready to finalize my 991 GT3 spec and am now considering Rhodium. Also, are those the standard headlights or did you go with PDLS? PDLS has less chrome in the trim treatment but I can't tell for sure without seeing them side by side with the standard BiXenons. Thanks.
