Yo Bry second clip second red car about the 20 mark, my bud from Brumos and I were wondering what you were up to. Figured you were a Pcar employee! You ripped going in the opposite direction shortly thereafter. sounded awesome.

That is so funny - we were gonna flag you guys down as it would have been a nice spur of the moment pic with the 4.0 and all you guys in your new knickers...

With those roads in our backyard, we were getting some last minute sound clips on the exhaust modifications we did on the 4.0 which I'll post soon.

Beautiful weather up there, great to see you guys or at least see you driving by

I thought at first it was a caravan of electric 991 prototypes - super quiet... haha

You guys looked cute.... kidding.

Haha. It was great seeing you guys. Just enjoying those roads in the 4.0 before shipping the car back to Troy and getting a few last wide grins on my face. The car left with Intercity today on it's way back to Louisiana for Troy to enjoy. If you're still in town, hit us up or cruise on over for a tour... B

Cliffs:

The 991 is a whole new ball game of 911. The next level; not just a new 911.

Its STUNNING in person. Looks much more exotic, Gorgeous lines. I could stare at it all day. Car felt and sounded much different than the 997.

White and Guards Red were A M A Z I N G for this car. Truly exotic looking. Interior is spacious, very comfortable and again, it feels like the 911 has grown up. Fit and finish is just like the Cayenne/Panamera in that its executed in simple, yet very handsome. Shifter position is perfect ala Carrera GT.

No matter how hard you tried, the 991 didn't let you make an ass out of yourself. (and clearly, this is where I shine lol)

Steering is a non issue. Where I think Journo's are getting lost is that the car's electronics are allowing you to carry that much more speed in to and out of a corner. - aka- its giving you a sense of confidence; however to certain people it felt numb. Its not numb, there's just more stuff that's going to allow you go that much farther, and thus when you do- you've gone well beyond your driving skill- so you think its the car not talking to you. When it has, you're just not listening. Probably much like the 458. The car is so good, it feels docile around town.

aka false sense of security.

my .02 cents worth? I'm planning on robbing a bank shortly to have one.

I NEED a new 991S in my life. LOL
