You will probably be just like me. You'll drive it and think "this thing is a dog. Where's the power?" but it will draw you back in until you finally realize how remarkable the car is. I would never have bought it had I not taken it out by myself and beat it up so hard. Those revs are just music to your ears. And as much as you like sound-lol! Go listen to one with Sport exhaust! Not only is it loud but is sounds "right"-like a serious performance tuned machine. I know this all might sound like I am just a dud way too excited about his car but I assure you I am not like that at all. I buy cars and they are just "cars" and I have some fun with them and dump them. This is truly a work of art. I mean you get in it and you just feel like you are "one" with the thing. Usually, I stay up the first night of ownership for a few extra hours and read through the owner's manual and figure out the systems of the car. In this one I hardly care- I laid in bed all night thinking of excuses to get out and drive it today-which I will be doing in about 30 mins! |

It is a GREAT car no matter which model you choose. I would jump all over it if I were you. That GT3 will be AMAZING! |

They don;t bother me a bit. I will say that the second time I drove this particular car they felt a tiny bit tight but I got completely used to it and they sort of just "it" perfectly now.

Late to the public party-- but I have about 37 PM's of frank and honest dialogue with Mike about this car. I never pulled any punches and he was entirely receptive.
What cant be said enough is the judgement of the car on an intitial test drive; most of us, if not all, will not push the car or drive in the proper modes. Mike and I both agree that the mash and go stop light racer of the M5 likes will not jump up and down for this car; even though you can constantly rattle off upper 3 second 0-60 launches regularly with a normal launch control for dummies process vs the laborious F10 method. The nuetrality of the chassis is shocking at speeds that I normally dont achieve except in my R8- and thats an entry level super car. I mean the 991 isnt slow- it still pulls off pretty incredible quartermile times and trap speeds (for those who use that measuring stick- I do not). But the sound, ohhhhhhhh the sound of this car and the chassis with the perfect balance. The one thing that also sold me was the vast improvement on the interior with the 991 vs my previous turbos (997.2, 997.1, 996). We both also agreed that we feel part of the car than maybe human in a shell feeling that we get from GT cruisers like the F13 and F10. Congrats on this car, rhodium is the best silver out there for Pcars with that slight hint of blue... the aero kit is fucking aggressive. You didnt just come to the Dark Side, you came to the Right Side!!!!!!! You have now earned the title: Jedi Knight. LOL

Wow! I only put $1k deposit plus I am pretty close with my dealer. I bet I will get that back as well. I have not asked yet. Wanted to break the news gently and then mention it. I have bought 2 other M cars in 6 months from them. They know I am a good customer.

I LOVE the kit and the Rhodium Silver. What a great combo. Makes the car look very unique. "Right" and "Light" and just in time for Caffeine & Octane on Sunday. Henry and I are going to enjoy checking out each other's cars there. Last time it was our M cars-this time P cars. She will be sitting nice and loooooowww by then! |

Right on! Love the car. Can't decide if I want to wait for my lease to be up on the M5 or just turn it in and go P-car now. But I really want that GT3...DAMN! Decisions decisions.

LOVE my kids and would give up my life for them but I decided that it was time to get a car for "me" (well-I did make sure that I had at lest some sort of back seat so Gavin (my 8 yr old car nut) could go for rides with me. He got in it last night and said "wow! this is the most comfortable back seat I have ever sat in. It just wraps around me!" (he did comment "no soft close doors" though-lol!) |

But after you drive it several times and get it up to speed on the highway it is game over. And the launch...wow! As Vic said-not rocket science like the M5. And you actually get "control" not "spin sideways and watch the other guy take off". I can tell you without question that it is by far the best move I have ever made. I was so committed to sticking with the M6 order or just keeping my M5. I actually started to turn around on my way to the dealer the last time I test drove it. It was like I was fighting myself but I just could not help myself. As Henry wold say "The Force is strong"-lol! I shutter to think about how close I came to not allowing myself to experience ownership of this glorious machine.-quite literally. Of course, I do have an M car in the garage to enjoy too when I get that need for a crazy torque run! |

Now I know you will be adverse to this but 21 inch forged wheels are lighter than the classics:
