Goes faster everyday.

Tested launch control a few times and it makes you lol every time. The more I drive, I find pdk best in auto. Lag between shift input and actual shiting makes me use manual mode no more. Also, pdk paddle demands too much strength. So my usual drive mode has changed from sport/normal to sportplus/normal. One interesting notice is when you go real fast, like over 250km/h, I find sportplus/sport setup suits better. Bumps and imperfection of the road is better dealt with sport suspension setup at high speed.

Changed oil twice and will change at 10000km and 5000km interval afterwards. However, so far, there is no oil leak at all. Went to service because of air coditioner failure. Something of quick fix I recall. Dealerships super nice so I cant wait to go buy 918 spyder from them.

Speed wise, it does things f and L will never dream of. Mindset of driving small nimble porsche is so different than f430 and lp640. Just aggressive and attacking at high sprit. Also, guys next to me will not make me pass easy or even challenge sometimes, which never happens when I was in LP. I had put paint protection film around intire car. And, let me tell you light color like white and PPF never get along.

I will strip off PPF later this year. Gets too dirty with dust accumualted along the PPF line.

Will post pictures soon.

 

looking forward to the pics.
are you in seoul?
what is PPF?
thanks for sharing impressions with us.

 

Thats a very interesting way to describe the first 8000 km with a car.
Nice to hear that you like the car more and more.
