Yes, I did drive it -- total of 1,201 miles over approx 16 hrs (not including some time I spent buying FIREWORKS at SoB!!! I should have snapped a pic of how many mortar shells and roman candles you can fit in the frunk!!!). I stopped in couple of spots in FL, then Savannah GA overnight Sat. The long-haul was on Sunday... Was fun, and honestly was a great shake-down of the car. Not a single little issue, no squeaks, rattles, or anything. Rock-solid. And, the 18-ways were surprisingly comfortable for almost the entire trip! Wasn't until I was nearly home that my butt started aching....
Best way to do it. Nothing like a 1,200 mile get acquainted session.

Congratulations. Enjoy in good health.

The GTS is a truly a great car.

Looks like you a great journey.

So what was your favorite part of the ride back home?

Very nice. But seriously, you need to take apart those sport design mirrors and plasticoat the lower part to match the other black trim. Never liked the gloss black since it doesn't match anything else, but the two tone look is slick.

And post the whole process online.

Totally not saying this because I want to do it too but don't know how to take apart the sport designs. No way I would push my agenda on you.

Thank you!

Favorite part? You mean aside from 16+ hours of pure driving bliss, radio-OFF, sport exhaust on, and just about a zero smokey presence the entire way???

Well, I guess it would have to be stopping at South of the Border. Dumpy tourist trap, but brought back memories of a few trips to Florida I went on as a young boy with my dad, and we always stopped there. Best part now tho is that I have "unrestricted" purchasing of all the fireworks that I can carry! Overcompensating for a strict father that only allowed me to buy some smoke bombs, firecrackers and goofy sparklers! Now, I nearly filled the frunk on the GTS with some serious ammo! We are going to have a crazy 4th this year (don't tell my wife!). LOL IT was fun just being there for a short stop.

The drive up wasn't as boring as I remembered, and there are definitely a LOT more places to stop along the way. Even the roads were in relatively good shape, and I kept the sport chassis on much of the way.... Had dry, clear weather in the 70s most of the trip, only hitting rain once on Sunday night as I moved through Richmond - which was actually really good because all of the smashed bugs on the car just disappeared after the downpour!

Big congrats again Plenum!! You have a really good one... even made me think why didn't I consider this when I was shopping for a 991.

I'm also glad my pics and vids helped.... cheers!

Quite stunning in person!

Wonderful car and a nice story of cooperation with the Rennlist team.

I see in Bossing's photo you have the clear taillights. I was uncertain if I was a fan of those until yesterday when just coincidentally a white 991.1S with them passed by my pickup truck. I thought it just made the white car look so uniquely clean in its almost pure white and black tones.
