This is where Im at too- monster hp cars with tq but also with bloated curb weight is not what I prefer. I do have such cars but they serve a different purpose. Im currently enjoying a great mix of cars from the mash and go cruisers to the lighter nimble cars that really ask me to be a better driver and provide more in regards to a visceral driving experience. I love sound and the rpms of the Pcar hitting 8400 is just magic- much like the R8 V10 roar in the same range.

Congrats, Mike. It was entertaining to witness your P-car psychosis whenever the topic arose.
Excellent choice - enjoy it in the best of health... Last edited by Mperial; 08-29-2013 at 04:38 PM.. |

Putting an ECU tune, PDK tune and X Pipe on the P car tomm! Can't wait! Once again Vic, thanks for the hookup. Fellow members, it should be noted here that Vic can be hazardous to your health. He just feeds this sickness we all seem to have.

i believe the suspension is also adjustable. its also impressive what comes standard in the gt3, i read through the standard options list, and its really a great value considering it includes the so much that are options on the s, like sport design package, sport design steering wheel, sport exhaust, PDK, AND an extra 75 hp over the s. not to mention its in many ways a completly different car than the regular 911. and the wheels are just gorgeous. im also in love with the interior of the 991 911. its looks like a work of art. |

This has me really re-thinking my decision. Have "14M5 LCI on order. Drove a 991 S PDK and manual over the weekend (much preferred PDK BTW, just made the car seem more fun). Just like has already been said. Every time I drive it I dismiss it, but then I always come back, the itch is there. I acknowledged to myself that it is not a car that you can get to know on a test drive. Have to take out for some time to really get a sense for it. To me it's a risk, I give up some of the creature comforts of a large luxury car but the nimble/connectedness could make the risk pay off. I have definitely been aware of the 4300 pounds lately.

The dealer can't keep your money from a deposit. Its illegal, I order all my cars without any deposit since iv'e gotten so many cars from them.

Best way to get yourself to really know this car is to tell the sales person that you are going to need several rides in the car to get over your "torque fever" and to truly learn how this car behaves. I completely got it when the sales guy threw me the keys and I took off for 30-45 mins alone. I beat it up good and flew through a sweeping curve several times at very high speed and I just fell in love. Keep those RPMs over 5K and you will be completely one with this sucker as that glorious naturally aspirated motor hums behind you! And also-LOOK AT IT!

It is the MODDING that probably won;t keep me away form having M cars too! Man can you do some cool things to them! My wife drives the M6 cab and she is not into modding. At least I got to lower it, black it out, added CF slant cut exhaust tips and she liked the GC wheels so we added them and I LOVE how it come out-simplicity on a black car and it looks HOT! I did swap my downpipes onto her car and driving home behind her yesterday I had to roll down the windows to listen. With OEM exhaust those cabs sound awesome. The DPs take it very close to the perfect note. M cars ROCK too baby! Things I love about both the M and the P! |
