Just got our new 991 home!
Hey everyone! We got back in early this morning! Got in around 2am...then had to give it a quick bath to wash the bugs off of it. If any or my neighbors where up, they must think, well, they already know, I am crazy! 12+ hour run back from Birmingham. LOVING the car so far! It is awesome.
A few comments from me about it:
Very comfortable cruiser/touring car. Build quality is top notch. I smell like leather when I get out! LOL! The car handles the road well. Good feedback, a little road noise from the tires, but nothing to complain about. The car has good power. LOVE the sounds it makes, especially with the sport exhaust open! HAHA!!
(a little on my car background: always had high horsepower/muscle cars: 1970 Nova, 1966 Chevy II-700+HP, C6 ZO6 Corvette-680 HP, and I just recently sold my almost 1000 HP twin turbo'd Shelby GT500 Mustang. Soooooo: I am almost ruined/spoiled when it comes to HP and speed/acceleration.)
Now, however, I don't know if it is the lightweight nature of the 911, the way the power is delivered, or the PDK, but this car actually feels quick to me! Not blindingly fast, but quick and I am very satisfied with this area.
We put about 800 +/- miles on it during our road journey! Wifey said she loved the seats and was very comfortable. I wish it had a little more storage space/areas inside, but the glove box takes all my stuff like a champ! The brakes seem fantastic! They will stop this car! NOW!
I am now going to be headed out to detail her up to my standards!
