    New 911 Gen 2 - Meteor Grey

    Well guys just returned from OPC with a massive smile on my face

    Really pleased with car - feels very precise and sharp and I would love to extend past 4000RPM but have been very good so far

    Got there and found a few really tiny marks on one of the alloys which the dealer imediatelly put right by putting a new alloy on. Everything else was fine!!!!

    The colour and the wheels are spot on - it looks great together and would advise this choice if someone is considering...... (i had to do this blind!)

    Was driving home in normal mode and thought whilst waiting at round about would try SPORTS mode - omg!!!! the car felt like a beast - was absolutely amazing - cant wait to try it when car is fully driven-in!!!!!

    Also was lucky to see a white GT2 which was awaiting someone else picking up - lovely!!!! lucky man!

    On to the pictures........

    Re: New 911 Gen 2 - Meteor Grey

    thanks all

    I will be getting PSE (i think) - not really had a chance to open the throttle to see how the thing barks yet but most likely will.....

    Yeah i think natural brown is nice - but i played it safe..

    I went for manual and pleased I did (although PDK seemed good when I used it at Silverstone)

    LOve it! That's my color. Congrats!

    Were you referring to the 20mm SPASM, when you said sport mode?

    Awesome! Can you post a photo or two of the interior, especially the PCM area of the dash.

    Will do some interior shots for you later if you like

    The new PCM is very easy to use - and you will pick it up very quickly......... just trying to work out if you can have the sat nav on without the radio/cd etc... will have to read manual for that.
