Very happy with the car and so far like it better than the 997 GT3 Porsche bought back. The direct injection engine is very smooth and has great power. I would strongly recommend Sharwerks center muffler by-pass. Improves performance slightly and sound significantly yet keeps the cabin quiet at cruise. Enjoy your ride

As a PDK car owner...PDK with out the Sport Chrono Plus is WORTHLESS...you need the Sport Chrono PLUS to unlock the real performance of PDK. I would go with the 6 speed manual car instead.

With the quick shifting to 7th gear, it left me unimpressed. So my question is, in manual mode, will the C2S PDK w/o SCP be as much fun to drive as one with SCP? Is the PDK adaptive in Drive mode, meaning adapting to your driving style???

I'm exploring all options, since there's a good chunk of difference in $$ among the cars that I'm considering.

Most people want to know more about the SC next to it. All I can say is it is not quite original stock, oh just a very few enhancements and a joy to drive.

Back to the Carrera S I cannot recommend more strongly the Sharkwerks center muffler by pass. Great workmanship, some increase in "seat of the pants" power and great sound yet quiet at cruise in the cabin. They did a super job to enhance a fantastic evolution of our favorite car the 911

Nice. I don't normally like the darker wheels, but that looks great.

Just bought the Sharkwerk bypass from Alex today. It's being shipped to Chris to be installed before delivery next Sat. Can't wait to hear it and experience it.
