I ordered mine with the Burmester. Still waiting in Canada for delivery. I can't believe there are no reviews or tests?

Well Nigel, here’s your chance for a video comparison to contribute to the ever lasting question whether Bose = or > than Burmester. When do you expect yours to arrive?

haha yes. I currently have a Infiniti Q60 with the Bose pro series and I love it. But when I listened to it in the 991.2, I didn't like it. So I ordered the Burmester without listening to it. Fingers crossed or I lost 4k. They say it should arrive in July or August. Canada may be last on the list?

Once you receive your FIN shoot me a PM and I'll tell you exactly where it's currently in production.

Congratulations, DKST! I sure like that tone of green.

Questions:
1. Since you have the Sport PASM and the front SD, did you order the front axle lift?
2. Do you feel\think it is needed with how you ordered your car?
3. Are you planning to apply paint protection film?

[QUOTE=DKST;15760139]Dear all,

the second video is up (& for now only on Vimeo as Youtube keeps banning it due to copyright claims for the song I used).

You can watch the video here:

Impressive video! You have real talent!

Grazie mille, it’s now also up on YouTube with a couple of alterations (next to other videos of the car).

What a car! I think I've seen your video a dozen times btw. So let me ask you a stupid question: Are you happy with the car? Does it put a smile on your face? (I know there's been some discussions on the entry and shift speeds observations, I just want to know thoughts overall!!) Hope your enjoying, really cool videos. Hopefully more coming!!!

I just watched the video you posted on the other thread. Great, short video. I think your interior choices were outstanding. Congrats

The sound on your video is excellent with pops and crackles. Do not understand why this other video does not have it. At least I do not hear it.

Oh yes it does! I just took it for a spin on my way back from Germany to Switzerland and it really is a machine. It’s significantly faster than my 991.2 while improving the ride quality at the same time. I very much like the looks of the sporty front fascia and side skirts, which make the car a lot more muscular. All in all, I’m very happy!

Many thanks Bobby! Glad you like it as well!

This is because the mic in my video was placed just in between the two exhaust pipes. From the inside, the crackles are barely noticeable at all, only if you put down the windows while driving through a tunnel for instance.

He may be in Sports + mode where there are no artificial crackles.

Stunning color combo, photos, videos, and a great looking 911 — especially the interior color.

Is it me or are the front fender gaps much larger than the rear?
Porsche sound seems to have changed quite a lot vs my 996 GT3 and 987.1 Boxster S. Not sure I like it.

Congrats on your new baby!

Congratulations DKST, what a nice classic combo !

I am a big of a green colour presence, though the rest of my car park is silver so I'm considering ordering a (GT) silver exterior, with the aluminium window trim combinated with the full island green interior and the wooden paldao pack..
