Also, as a first time owner of a 911, I do feel this car is more of a GT car than a true sports. Very competent and goes where you point it with little fuss. Excels at fast sweepers, but not my first choice for sharp, tight turns.

I have found that the 981/982 Cayman is much closer to a “sports car” drive than the 991/992 which also Hadith’s distinct advantages.

Our Mercedes has HUD; I bought a pair of non-polarized sunnies for it which BTW are fine for driving in SoCal. It does make a difference in the Mercedes / AMG setup though, with the polarized lenses you need to tilt your head a few degrees to be able to properly see the HUD.

I also love the 7 MT , best transmission i ever tried. No way I would get a PDK for this car.

I wanted my wife to get Tanzanite on the X7 we ordered for her a few months ago, but she prefers Arctic Gray, so happy wife and stuff. Thanks for the photo of the 2 cars next to each other—I have not seen that before and it was quite interesting and informative to see the side by side difference. I’ve also ticked the boxes for RAS and FAL and glad that I did. Enjoy your car in good health and drive it like it was meant to be driven!
what red accents are you doing?
