MY FIRST PORSCHE - 991.2 Finally Arrived and Driving
Well then,
Placed order Feb 20th, arrived May 20th, dealer prep completed May 25th
Including swapping out the rims, sensors, and placing the esc spacers.
Pros,
Car is just mental, every aspect, NO TURBO LAG, nil, the ride quality is better than previous gen, as well the manual shift (not slagging .1 love the car since 2012). The sound is GREAT !!! (not as great at GTS or GT3) but it's brilliant, knowing myself will get something more free flowing and louder
Cons,
1. ordered the sunroof, but the diffuser doesn't go back, that is bloody cheesy, my 98 rust jetta does it.
2. Should have gotten 14 way seats, perhaps air cooled, am I going to cry naw .... just a little maybe ? (chalk that to being cheap)
3. When closing the door feels like glass is going to break it rides against the body tight.
Thank you to all for the very informative facts on the car, after a year of reviewing, reading the articles, test driving the .1 and .2 over and over, for me it was an easy decision.
Mods
1. Wheels done
2. Spacers done
3. Got it wrapped yesterday
4. Hmm what mod could I possibly be thinking of next hmmm
Got a great deal on the car, with quite a healthy option list, also got car cover, and some gear shirt jacket all thrown it. 4 days of ownership 550km completed.

Looks awesome. I thought they had discontinued the Sport Technos. Great to see that they have not.

LOL - Thanks lads !
@FastTr - Yes Sport Techno's are not available bought them of classified forums they were in really really bad shape but sorted them finally.
@Dewinator only thing upside down is my bank account "insufficient funds"

Great post. One of the greatest joys of owning a 911 has been sharing it with my children. Seems like you have a young enthusiast on your hands as well.
I'm sure you will hear the words, "put it in sport mode daddy!" Quite often.

Ordered February, delivered May! Bugger, I've obviously done something wrong. Ordered C4S mid December 2015, latest delivery estimate...(late September 2016). Would expect this long for a 'GT' or 'R', not that most of us can get hold of one, but a C4S in Agate!!! Never experienced such a painful wait. I'm reluctant to contact my SA because, it seems, each time I do the date goes back further.
