Default Another new 991.2 Carrera S owner

Ordered mid April 2016 and took delivery July 11.

Never owned a Porsche, I love it and kids love it. Wife is happy, more practical than my Lambos.

Great board, thank you.

Purchased my first Gallardo about 12 years ago, it was an 04 with e-gear. PDK is much better. The newer e-gear is a big improvement.

I have only owned manual 6 speed lambos since my 04. Two different 03 Murcielagos and a 06 Gallardo SE.

The Murciealgo is more exotic, more blind spots and harder to drive. The Gallardos are easier to drive. I thought my 04 Gallardo sounded the best with TUBI.

The Carrera has better performance and handling than the lambos i owned. My three kids enjoy being able to all fit in the Porsche.

Love the guards red with black trim - so much so I ordered one myself

Also, you're absolutely right - the ability to share your car with your family is a great benefit to all .
