Euro delivery indeed
Sorry i missed your thread
Picked up my CT on Wednesday,and just completed a week-end of precision training on Porsche's Leipzig track
I was the only pepper in a sea of GT3s,turbos and assorted 911s
Just made it back to Berlin from Leipzig in an hour,with a top speed of 172(i believe me pepper has got another few mph innit)
It certainly has been a fun few days

Thanks,safety first of course(which is why I took the precision training and am doing the performance training in a month)
To experience the full range of the pepper's possibilities on the autobahn is a real treat

Indeed,I can't complain
On the autobahn,it is nice to have the maximum stopping power possible
The ceramics also came in handy when I tracked my pepper on the Leipzig track during Porsche driving school

So, did you abide by the break in requirements as stated in the owner's manual?

I abided by what my delivery consultant indicated was ok
Compared to tracking it in Leipzig with 911s,pushing it on the autobahn was actually quite civilized

Personally I'm one of those that believes the break-in requirements as stated in the (US) owner's manuals is WAY too conservative. No need to baby them for that long. Felt the same about motorcycle break-in.

I've asked this before, what kind of break-in does Porsche do before putting the cars in the Performance Driving fleet?

So far I have only taken the precision driving course,and while they always emphasize and teach us safety first..I believe they break in their "fleet cars"by driving them like they stole em
That was particularly apparent towards the end of our weekend,where several instructors drove each of us around the track for"hot laps" in a gt3rs,997 and Panamera turbo,and Cayman R
