I have to tell you, tho ... the sound of a 993 door shutting IS spectacular! CLUNK! Like a tank.

I've had one a week. I'm in love with the car. My wife has let me drive it twice. It's so so so much better than the 997. It's damn fast too. I believe that I could give a 2010 GT3 a run for it's money on the track. I've launched a couple times. This thing has to be low 3's to 60. Easy.

Bagger, the doors do sound nice, assume its the Alumimum door design- also the car IS shipped with bump stops in it thus the rise in the front. Dead pedal was noticed as well, they'll shift the brake over and make room for the 3rd pedal when released.
Glad you guys are enjoying it!

Agree with many of your points about the car. I was at the unveiling on Thursday as I live a few minutes away.
Disagree about it not being a good area to drive the car--if you go 5 minutes away there are miles upon miles of twisty back roads with few cops. Being the weekend though I can see how traffic would be a mess in the immediate area.
