Got my car...
Just a quick pic and a note to say thanks to all the members here who have educated me over the past almost two years. Taking tons of pics, seeing lots of things; I'm sure a lengthy ED debrief post will ensue later on.
My only real initial feedback besides the fact that the car is all I had hoped, is that I think its impossible to judge the CP power changes before break-in is complete. I did a good 40 miles of harder driving, varying RPMs, etc to seat the rings, but kept it under 5400RPM. The steering and dampers on the other hand definitely a nice improvement from my initial impressions of the non-CP car (but that could have been highly influenced by today's adrenaline). While it is nice, its still nothing I'd run out and trade a '12 or '13 in on. Sadly, Grossglockner was fogged in above 2000M... here's a pic from the backside coming into Heiligenblut!

Congratulations. The 601Ms are really starting to grow on me. Looks like you also spec'd the LEDs - I'm still trying to convince myself that the LCI xenons don't look that bad in comparison. LOL.
Must resist temptation to retrofit... |

Wait, where's the picture of your new Porsche, B-1 Pilot??!?!??!! As URBAN LEGEND would say: Straight B.S.
LOL! Just kidding. Congrats bro! She looks amazing. Wish I could get a 2014 with the CP also, but I'm gonna wait.

Lookin good. Congrats! Do yourself a favor and really take advantage of those pristine roads over there. It is torture when you get back stateside and have to drive with a bunch of dumb fucks clogging the highways.

Yes... a color that still blows me away in person (much I'd imagine colors like moonstone and other do...) Once I saw it I did a 180 from what color I thought I would get. I think it works well with the 601s, and will be even better with some slight IND mods. Quote:

Alright off to the next driving adventure today. From Grossglockner to Stelvio to Lake Como!
