Congrats on the purchase, glad you finally got it. I see you switched over the side markers already, which look amazing. I would advise getting some Lamin-X to protect the front bumper and mirrors against any road debris, you definitely don't want any paint chipping on that gorgeous looking car.

Hi Haku!

Great car .... Please give some thoughts about the Sport PASM ... how is the ride quality ... e.g. compared to a 997.1 with PASM only (if you have ever driven).... problems with daily use? .... from which car are you coming from? ... I'm in the decision finding process and I have to order soon.


Best
Gregor

More Pics...

Sidney the following may help or answer some questions you ask.

I just came back from a 30 mile drive on very twisty hilly roads. Roads that are in my backyard and ones which I would drive in my GT3 etc. All I can say about this car is that it blew me away on pretty much all counts. Adverse camber roads were a breeze with practically zero diving on the front. I tried all the settings and each progressively stiffened the car. I love it! Really a versatile car for everyday driving with truly a Jekyl and Hyde personality. A lot has been made of the steering and yes there is a difference to the 997 but its really nothing significant. The car just feels better planted on the road. My concerns about PDK were also laid to rest. I hated it on the 997.2 so much so that I sold my PDK C4S within a couple of months. On the 991 the PDK tranny is so so so much better. I actually like it!

Overall I am simply blown away by the car. The sport exhaust and the loud popping is just a tonic! A must IMO. Dare I say it?... I may enjoy this car more than the GT3 I had!!!!

Some more pics from the drive today... let me know when to stop!
