Picked up the car this afternoon and got 40 (mostly) conservatively driven miles in before school zone/school bus traffic set in. My V1 and Laser Blinder are also not yet in the car, so had to chill.
Specs:
* The dealer screwed up on my order - the car arrived with the standard titanium colored wheels. I had been pretty sure all along that this was happening (despite their assurances to the contrary) over the past 4 months, since it did not show up on the order sheet - they kept saying that since it's a no-cost option, it would not be reflected thereon. Luckily, the owner's personal Arctic Silver car is coming in 2-3 weeks with silver wheels, and he has agreed in writing to swap wheels at no cost. The silver will "pop" much better against the Meteor.
Very tentative first impressions - steering is even tighter and more telepathic than that of my previous (very stiff & low) 40th Anniversary 996; (steel) brakes are super touchy and will require driver recalibration. Acceleration does not seem dramatically better than my old car up to 4K or so, and of course I can't go much past that until she's broken in; clutch does not seem overly heavy to me, despite reports to the contrary. When Sport button is engaged, exhaust is hooligan-approved (though not too raucous at low revs), but there's definitely a cabin drone at 3-4K, especially under moderate to heavy throttle; rear visibilty is compromised (as others have reported) by wing, but not to the degree that I feel it will ordinarily keep me from seeing John Law behind me in traffic. I made it up my girlfriend's fairly steep driveway with no scraping, just by taking the angle I always did in my old car; no problems on speed bumps either.
All I have now are cell phone pics - more to come soon with a proper camera.
Does anyone know how to get iPhone contacts to download to the CDR-30? My phone is synced but contacts did not download. Service guy said it would happen after an hour or so, but no go...
Specs:
- Meteor Grey over full leather
- leather console
- sound package
- Bluetooth
- iPod input
- silver painted wheels*

congrats.
yes contact will download to CDR30.
on the right side there are bunch of button (i sold my GTS, so not very sure), one of those is phone related and will ask you if you want to sync (the sync button is on the touch screen once you got to the proper menu). but usually it will sync contact once the iphone is sync. chk later tonight, it may have sync'd. i use iphone as well, no prob

Another vote for keeping the titanium wheels. I think they look perfect with Meteor Grey.
