Re: Signed Papers -Married The Turbo -Honeymoon Pi
Thanks for your well wishes and congrats!
Funny thing is the gearing (compared to C2S). I'm working on figuring out which gears to use and break old habits all while being very nice for the first 200-300 miles. I seem to be going from 3rd to fourth alot in TT, basically stayed in third in C2S. (unless "driving" turns into "cruising" of course).
Not sure why turbochargers kick in and shove your shoulders back _sometimes_ and not others (Sport button is on). Not much I can do to figure that out under 4200-5200 rpm.
I definitely have a Turbo personality; I wanna step on it and blast past slowpokes. Don't miss smooth delivery of power by C2S. Don't miss C2/S precision steering as much as I thought; too bad it's gone, it's missed, but I'll survive. No crazy turns/corners [in "safe" isolated areas] since tires are barely broken in.
Sorry to reiterate because some guys have to go thru trouble to change out the exhaust system, but the relative _quiet_ is suuuuuch a pleasure when passing. I always had this feeling with C2S that these timid drivers call 911 on me and I have a "rap sheet" and "wanted poster" circulating with local cops.
Lack of options doesn't bother me (again, got ASS and SC and heated seats). I had my exact "requirements" with the C2S I ordered and maybe got over the need-to-personalize hormonal imbalance. Of course this car has "all" the options included in the excessive price tag. But, nevertheless, I don't seem to miss anything I don't have because I got car off of lot. oops, I forgot to mention this unit does have LSD.
Funny thing: the wing is a slighter PITA than I thought, like many of you guys suggested it would be. Thanks for your reassurances.
The SC dial is not terrible, I just keep the stopwatch lit and running constantly while I drive to add visual interest
. I wanna be the FIRST guy ever to have a warrenty problem with the stopwatch because of "overuse."
Great car! Just looooove the extra kick of the TT. This one's a keeper. (Unless a V8 mid-engine "poor man's CGT" replaces it).
Again, my warmest regards go out to you guys for your advice and input and valiant and sometimes tough-love attempts to helping me sort thru all my Porsche "issues." LOL. Thanks!
More to come... .

Re: Signed Papers -Married The Turbo -Honeymoon Pi
She's owning you now.
Treat her with respect and do what she says.
She's gonna cost you. They always want something. A new accessory, a thalasso or some new shoes. Lots of new shoes. Damn! what do they do with them anyway?
Congrats. It's a good looking wife you've got there

Congrats
But just like hot chicks, any latest/greatest car is obsolescent/disposable within 6-12 mos anyway.....perhaps why concept of actually putting upfront capital into a rapidly depreciating/obsoleting car is about as archaic as marriage, with or w/o prenup.....
