Wait 'til you have her broken in, and hit 85 in second gear...with 4 more to go!

I drove for about four hours today, which is probably the most I'll ever do in this car at one time. My back hurt even the adaptive sport seats. Finished the morning drive with some twisty mountain bits a few miles from home. Still, continue to be amazed. It's like a bottle of Porsche essence. Today I learned that the car does exactly what you tell it, so don't tell it do something stupid. Also, my heel/toe needs a lot of work. This car won't cover up poor technique.

I thought heel-toe was a little different on this car too compared to my C4S and previous Cayman S...BUT it was perfect when at the track. Hard braking makes it perfect which is much different than being on the road.

Yes, heel/toe is easier under hard braking. Here are a couple of photos -- no wash, no wax.
