New 911 Turbo Owner

Just picked up a new 911 Turbo. First impressions is that it is an awesome machine. Drove home close to 300 miles and it was effortless. I traded in a Ferrari 550, and I will miss that dearly, but I did enjoy the open road with the creature comforts I have grown use to. Heated/cooled seats, sat radio, navigation and all the good stuff. I'm really looking forward to driving the wheels off this thing, just in time for spring and summer!

 

Photos are on the way. It's Black with grey & black interior. It has most options, the only thing it doesn't have is launch control. It was built by someone else. They ordered it, then they decided to get a mb SL instead. The dealership sells both Porsche and MB, so they let him switch his order. So I just happened along and found it. I don't think I will miss the launch control though, as I am going to use it for a DD, and it will most likely never see the track. Even without it, it is so fast and the PDK is awesome.

 

Launch control allows you to get a better start if you really need it. With it you can go 0-60 in 3.0 with out you slow down a bit it takes 3.2. It feels a little rocket like. When I took the wife for a drive and hit the gas, she said it made her feel sick.

 

It's been better than I thought. It's different than the 550, both good and bad, but it has been a blast to drive, very comfortable, and easy to drive. I have driven over 500 miles and no warning lights, check engine lights, or things leaking from it! I am enjoying it, but I still have that Ferrari bug.
