Default My First New Porsche! 2013 991S

After weeks of waiting I finally took delivery yesterday of my 991S in white on black interior. I absolutely love the 7-speed manual transmission and find that Sport mode really transforms the vehicle into a different car altogether. Will wait a couple hundred miles before trying out Sport Plus. All of my previous p-cars had at least 30k when I bought them so it is especially nice to be the first owner on this beauty. Here a couple garage shots that don't do much justice:

Congratulations--the car is beautiful! So is the one in your avatar. I love the wheels, and am glad to see you went with the glass roof; it really adds a nice contrast to the white. Enjoy and use it in good health.

Oh, yeah, you ain't gonna believe the difference when you initiate Sport-plus.

what a beauty - of course, i'm biased on the white/black combo (have it on both my C4S and CLK55 Cab, and was nearly impossible to find)...can't wait for more pix.

Thanks! On my white 997 the clear stone guards would yellow over time. I see my 991 shipped with clear stone guards as well. Any thoughts on using black stone guards on a narrow body 991? Suncoast has them shown a car that is white with black techno wheels just like mine - http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...or_Accessories

Congratulations, a beauty (but I'm of course slightly biazed). The black sport techno wheels enhance the contrast scheme nicely without adding too much black surface. Would love to see this combo with the black stone guards.
