Thanks to all the folks who shared my delivery excitement. I got to know the car considerably today, and will post a full summary soon.

And I wasn't even pushing it beyond 5500rpms the whole day. It felt so awkard to back off at that point. But I am guilty of going full throttle at times. I just couldn't help it. I had to see what that would do. I'm going to take it easy during the rest of the break-in though. My friend Mark, the third car in our little delivery convoy, couldn't keep up either and he was driving a well-chipped '02 S4.

Unlikely, given it is a well established fact that I am a geek.

Thanks! I see that you went with the 911S? Congrats on that! Still going to pick up the GTR as well?

New car
I know how you feel--been driving mine for a week and it's still very special. Need to take a trip to get to 1,200 quicker. I went to get gas today and a freak hail storm laid 1/2" of ice on the road. PS2s no likey--alomost didn't make it 1/2 mile home.

It is soooo hard to back off at 5500 rpms... Bad scenario with the hail and ice. It snowed very briefly while I was picking up my car and I was going, "Oh, no!", but fortunately, it was a dry partially sunny day. I am assuming that you are aware of the parts shortage and folks not being able to complete their 1200 service?

I will be cancelling my GT-R. I found it to be very cheap looking (We went to NYC and stopped in at the auto show.) and not what I want in a sports car, no matter how fast it is. I am trying to resist the urge to order a 2009 (FL) 997 turbo. I may get a 2009 M, but I will have to see how the 911 works out first. I do not want to trade my 335 yet and want to see how the DCT thing plays out. I can not wait to hear more about your car. She looks sweet! |

Parts needed to perform the 1200 service are not in the US yet, so dealers are sending people back. I'll use a coffee filter.
