Got my 993 Turbo S (more pics and video added pg 3)

Picked it up today. Initial impressions are that the car is a lot more raw than the 997, I just love the look of this car. The colours etc. are all perfect! I think this car is as quick if not quicker than the F430 4600ft above sea level. The power is brutal for a 11 year old car. The brakes are a sharp, but you need to get on them quite hard to get them to bite properly.

The Fabspeed muffler bypass pipes sound great! It is A LOT louder than on their videos, I don't know if it has smaller cats in comparison with the US spec - the whole showroom looked to see what was coming around the corner when it started and was driven to the main showroom for me to take delivery.

Anyways, enough babble - here are some photos. I can't wait to get some more time behind the wheel tomorrow!
