Agreed. The 997 doesn't slowly change, it just changes with out warning. At around 3500, the shifter went from feeling "new" and at times very hard to get into 1st to buttery smooth. Literally I can move the shifter with 2 fingers now.

And, currently at 4000 miles, I noticed the change in the PSE tone. It's quite a bit louder, more of a growl then before.

I love my car.
