Thanks for all your well wishes everyone! The car runs great and its so much better than my old 997 in many ways! It's a blast! Can't wait to get past the break in!

Mine is a daily driver and I can't wait to get past the 2K breakin! I highly recommend the manual! PDK is not fun or engaging enough for me. And by the way the 991 is better in every way to my old 997. Again I was skeptical before I got it but it is true believe me. The steering is perfect and the car is outrageously better!

You still believe in the old wives tail break-in period... redline out of the dealer baby.. the harder you run it the better it will run going forward as the ECU of all modern cars "learn" your driving habits.

Someone on this forum mentioned that the rev-matching tech is found only on the 4 and 4S models. And elsewhere, I've heard that it's available only on the post 2013 991s. Was it available right from the start, or is it new?

Good to know that rev-matching feature is available on the 2WD Carreras. *thumbs up*
