Just picked this up and put about 200 miles on it yesterday.
Very nice driver, does everything it is supposed to do, as expected.
Fills one of my lifelong goals to own a Porsche Turbo.
Should be hitting the dragstrip this coming weekend if the weather is good.
How is the launch control? Porsche designed it to be unbreakable and you can do it all day long.
I haven't tried it yet but as you mentioned, apparently it works really well.
I think one car mag did 60 or so full bore launches in a row with one of these cars to test it out without any apparent damage.
These are absurdly awesome cars. I don't know that I'd want one as fast as they are. Seems like overkill.
They're only as fast as we drive them.
For a super nice cruise on a Sunday morning, it is tough to beat.
Really handles the road, very nice interior to gaze on during the ride, superb sound system, and then there are the brakes...so responsive and smooth, really gives a feeling of braking superiority over anything I have ever driven.
Very cool ride! Classy looking and bad *** fast! Enjoy and I look forward to your 1/4 mile experience.
Yea, it should be fun, looks like the weather may be good for the weekend, so I'm hoping to see some 10's.
Probably going to crap myself the first time I try launch control...

Yeah but an S or Gts, or even base 911 would also do all those, minus the sub 3 second 0 to 60 rips, lol.
Curious what you drive because any entry level sedan does most of those things as well....
Roof comes off and stick shift mostly.
Roof coming off is something I will have a hard time getting used to when I get my 911 one day, because I also don't do verts.
I'm a simple guy. 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds is good enough for me. I think I'd like a 997 s with a stick. Better would be with the power kit. Slightly less so, a gts, I don't love the mono lock wheels. Torn between a 997.1 or 997.2, my dad had a 997.2 s with pdk and it was awesome and wicked. But the direct injection is another thing to go wrong to me, for a sum of hp that isn't game changing. I think a few mods on a 997.1 S would be better for me personally. But I do prefer the darker interior tones of the 997.2, and the 991.1 is really growing on me, even if it is a bit bigger and more boringly modern.
