Teamspeed,

So I just crossed over the 900 mile mark on the Spyder and i thought i would share some thoughts and pictures.

WOW - what a car! By far the most fun i have had driving in my life. The combination of top down, lightweight, and Porsches newest technology really make this car an absolute blast to drive. Never have i felt so connected to the road than in this car. The power level is perfect for the chasis and for my driving. Punch it and the thing MOVES. Coming out of a corner - nail the throttle - and you are rewarded with an awesome exit. The overall sensation is very similar to a Cayman S, but the fact that you are open air really does elevate the experience.

Best feeling in this car - top down, about 68-70 degrees outside - music pumping - heated seat on - and ripping along in 3rd gear down a back road. Perfection!!!

If i had to say what i dont like? --- not much, but i do wish the car was a TINY bit larger inside (i am 6'3") and i wish the stock exhaust (non sport) was a tad louder. But soon that will be fixed

OK, enough babbling --- here are some fresh pictures from a nice drive i took tonight.....













Thanks for looking

 

nice pick up, glad you're enjoying her.

 

900 miles? Seems like you got it last week. Glad it's in the hands of someone who will drive and enjoy it!

 

you got the best color combo for you spyder!!!

 

great to see your enjoyment, keep it coming.

 

Let me know how you deal with the next few days of rain... I'm hoping (assuming) you just leave it garaged with the top off when it's not right outside. Such a sexy car - I really love it.

 

Sweet, great to see folks enjoying one of Porsche's best cars. It is a little jewel.

 

You got a Spyder? Sweeeeet!!! Nice

 

Thank you!


Two weeks ago actually - but yes, i will drive the crap out of this car. Remember, i drove a 997 C2S two cars before this 26,000 miles in about 7 months. Do the math. LOL!!!


I agree!


Thank you


Chris, i just got stuck in some NASTY rain - lucky i got the top up about 2 mins before it hit (i pulled over). The ride was fine. Just like any other convertable in the rain. No leaks. No drama. Just cruised along with the wipers on and my radio blasting ....but yes, normally parked inside with top off waiting for the sun!


Thanks! I actually think its the best looking car they are making. Love the style!


Yup! You need to come to Cars and Coffee more often

 

Jon, I definitely wanna spy on your new Spyder. If C+C is still on I'll stop by on Saturday.
