My 2014 Carrera S is finally here! (pic heavy)
Ordered my car in July and finally got it a couple of weeks ago.
Configuration:
2014 Carrera S
7 spd manual
Agate Grey exterior
Black Interior
Sunroof
Sports Seats Plus
Sport Design Steering wheel
PASM Sport Suspension
Sport Chrono Package
Carrera S wheels in Platinum (silk gloss)
Seat heating (front)
Smoking package
Luggage net passenger footwell
Sirius XM
I also wanted a much more aggressive sound. I had the Sharkwerks side muffler bypass pipes installed along with the PSE Centre Muffler (and switch) retrofit - this cost me about the same as PSE from factory but with a much more aggressive sound overall. I'll try and do a review of the exhaust system but the sound is simply AMAZING!!
I just got it back from a front end Xpel and Opticoat treatment.
For comparison, my previous 911 was a 2009 3.6 Carrera in white (manual, sport chrono, 19 inch wheels, sport exhaust) with minimal options.
This car just has so much more presence. With it being a little longer, wider at the front and noticeably lower, it just has more of an exotic look compared to my 997.2.
I'm just loving every aspect of this car! Can't wait to finish the break in period.

What a wonderful looking car! I like Agate Grey exterior! Looks great, especially with this wheel color combination! Black interior is my favorite for Porsche!

Thanks guys for all the comments. This car was definitely worth the wait, especially speccing it out the way I wanted. I wanted a more aggressive, raw 911 (with back seats). I didn't feel the need for all the luxury stuff like full leather, Burmester, 18 way seats. Tried to keep it lean and mean. I think the lower SPASM, sport chrono, sport seats, etc give it that extra edge , and oh, that exhaust! Ohhhh my! It sounds beastly with the Sharkwerks and PSE combo!
In the frunk
I asked my sales guy to instruct the technicians to not drill any holes in the front bumper. I'm going commando on the front bumper. Each ticket would be a $110 fine unless I can get away with some warnings. I've got my different lines rehearsed, lol!
