Default First spirited drive in new 09 turbo

Finally took out my new to me tubo on a proper back mountain road trip. PCA drive through San Diego. Car did not disappoint. The amount of torque and power was exhilarating and the handling/braking was impressive. Suspensions a bit soft but worked well on most of the roads. I've driven these roads hard on my 07 S and 993 and must say the turbo handled it pretty good. Love this car!

Well done on the new car man! It looks great. Boost is king.
I did a suspension ECU update and it made a BIG difference.
No affiliation, just a happy customer :cheer:

Nice. If you were to spec a new one would you get CCB's? I cant justify the price.

After owning a car with the PCCB option, I don't really want to own one without it. If I tracked my car, then that would be another story. I don't the budget of a Formula 1 team!
