if it is not too far for you, would you mind to see if it is a feasible proposition? Once the collars are done, it would open-up the market for us… maybe your collar should be amortised over the number of orders… I am in :-)
@Pivot Keep me posted - sounds interesting.
Ive been looking at Cambridge Audio for a sound upgrade, but this could be an alternative!?

I wanted to do European delivery…willing to wait to get car home later…but was absolutely out of question with NYC demand.
There are plenty of nice roads between Munich and Salzburg (Oberbayern) and finding small lakes, off the beaten path, is always rewarding. They have easy trails on their shores and inns with good local food.
Also, from Stuttgart, just drive west, towards Schwarzwald.
Actually, Porsche has an app, the former GTS, now "Roads by Porsche". So you can always find the best roads, even when far from home.

How was the feeling? Compared to the former 4S?
I will be there too, in July. Also a track day. And maybe I will manage until then to get a "photo lap" or two on the Nordschleife, during the Terroristenfahrten.

@Barkat03 (or anyone else already disappointed upon delivery) Ive heard factory speakers are made of plastic and paper. What do u find most lacking? Clarity? Volume? Bass? Highs? All of the above? Ha, feel like I’m asking an exam question. That’s what happens with too much education.

They are light weight speakers all for the sake of the T ethos.

@Cartod
I believe these are the same speakers that are in the base Carrera, where weight is not part of the ethos.
They’re just rubbish, and it’s more related to the fact that Porsche want you to cough up 1,200+ big ones to add to their profits$$$$$

Wow you just made me realize that after driving my car 300 miles this past weekend, I didn't turn the radio on once! I listened it to it for a few seconds at the dealership during pick up and that's it. I remember there being virtually zero bass but I haven't played with the settings.

Apparently I need to remove 10lbs of worthless speakers to compensate for my full PPF.

I only got half PPF so my car is definitely faster.

I sold my GT350 after 5 years and never turned it on!
