What did you buy your 991 today thread

Install took about 15 mins. Super easy! Drove the car in all 3 modes in order to get a before and after comparison. Truly satisfied with the tune. As others have reviewed, the shifts are crisper and the RPMs hold longer for smoother shifts, especially when in normal mode. The car is more enjoyable to drive when just cruising on the side roads.
Now sport and sport + are a whole different story. I usually drive in Sport mode and am pretty accustomed to the car's performance in that mode. I dropped the pedal from about 5mph and all 4 wheels on my c4s were spinning. Before the Cobb Tune NEVER, EVER has the car done that. I now have AWE exhaust, IPD Plenum and BMC Filters and all together the car is an absolute beast!

I had a chance to do mine yesterday. What I pick up on the most is the torque down low. I get the impression that a stock C2S has a hesitation when you start off the line but after the basic stage 1 tune much of that is eliminated. Feels like its where it should be, coasting up to the higher RPM's where the real power is.
Although I don't think its turns into the beast that some reports claim it to be... but perhaps its because mine is on stage 1 w/ 91 octane and otherwise stock parts. It definitely brings out more character to the car, so I'm happy that I got it with no regrets.
Looking forward to a track day with a remap on some 93 or 100 octane

People kill people, but guns sure help. Also, apparently, this:

But I agree let's get back to cars. As a peace offering to the group, here is a picture of my shiny new Techart paddle conversion. I was considering the wheel swap that some have done but just couldn't live without my MF buttons. These paddles feel very good - a shorter throw than a 991.1 OE paddle but not quite as slick as the .2, and of course not metal Big improvement in wheel appearance as well though I feel. There is also something about having ones fingers around paddles while driving that makes the car feel even more solid and spaceship-like. Don't ask me why.

I had GiroDisc rotors installed on the front yesterday. My oem drilled rotors had hairline cracks on almost every hole. Got 24k miles and 6 track days out of them. The GD are 10mm larger at 350mm and are slotted instead of drilled for better heat cycle life. I haven't "bedded" them in yet as I didn't have time but I will as soon as I get back from a trip. Apex Performance is where I bought mine. Great experience.

I will pm you after I bed them in and put a few miles on them. They are lighter, thicker, and taller rotors. The look (sorry no pic as it was nearly dark when I picked it up) is really nice. They even look more performance oriented. Made in Washington State. Call Clark at Apex. Free shipping and best price.
