Well after a long week I got to bring home my first 911! I traded in my 2014 Boxster S for this CPO 2014 991 S. So far I really like it. Now to get my clear LED sides, blendmount / mirrortap, and a couple other little items put on tonight! Big thanks to STG and the deal thread!

2. The detector install was not horrible. It took me about 45 min. I did the same install on my Boxster S and it took about 5 min. There was a lot more slack in the cables on the Boxster than the 911 for some reason, and getting the homelink/dome light console down took a lot for pulling as well. I assume this is because of the tighter fit with the alcantara compared to the headliner on the boxster.
I think it looks really nice and clean without the expense of doing a full built in detector.

991 feels much quicker (and I assume it is lol)
991 has a much harsher ride (partly due to the POS P zeros IMO)
991 has a bit more drone when cruising on the freeway
I am still getting used to the new ride and due to some light alignment issues (different thread) I haven't really had the chance for a good spirited (but safe) drive yet. I'll update this in a week or so with some more thoughts.
Honestly in a perfect world I would have both, and IMO if I wanted a cab then I would go Boxster S all day long. However I live in Houston where its so darn nasty hot I'll get way more use out of the Coupe.
