Fantastic Carlos, congratulations!
Due to all the news about the rs and gt4 I had kind of forgotten that you had ordered theGTS, but it's looking great!
All the best for the last couple of days waiting and I'm already looking forward to reading your impressions and review!

Beautiful car, Carlos, many congrats.
Carmine red suits the car very well and with this colour even black rims look great.
Enjoy in good health!
We're at the point where you can be the fastest or just sound like you're the fastest.
The secret of life is to admire without desiring.

Carlos from Spain:Sweet! Is that yours? Are you loving the Carmine?
Yes! but can't pick it up yet, will have to wait till sometime next week.
Carmine looks better than what I even expected! even my wife who is not fond is such colors loved it.
Congratulations! That looks superb. Its so refreshing to see everyone being so much bolder with Porsche colours these days

Carlos from Spain:Thank you guys! the support that you guys gave me on the color choice on the old thread helped since I had many doubts.
Ha - you're welcome! (you had doubts about the PDK too as I recall.... you will love it too after hearing the sound of the first high speed triple downshift !). With your mileage history on your 997, this will without a doubt be the first GTS to have a 100,000 km report, since you will be spending every spare hour driving it t!!!

Fantastic news Carlos - totally agree with all the comments re colour & wheels..
You are going to have a great blast soon - only wish is that it would come with Michelin instead of the P Zero's.
Never mind you will soon be at a mileage to change them....

Funny I just noticed that too looking at the pictures
Never liked pirelli, I expected it to come with Michelin PSS!
Anyone have any info or impressions on these PZeros? How do they compare to Michelin's?

For I don't know what reason, Porsche still does not fit ( as not N ) MSS. I have used this tyre now on track , or open roads and on standing water on the highway. In all areas , it is the best tyre I have ever fitted to my 911 . ....and by far !

Congrats Carlos How many miles does have your 997? Are putting the same amount on this new too? 991 is much more decent as daily than your 997, think it´s going to be a much better ownership experience with 991.

I don't remember getting any impression that Carlos was dissatisfied with his ownership experience with his 997?

About 220,000km and the 991 will be "enjoyed" just as much hopefully!
Many, many congrats, Carlos, on the new 911

The latest gen PZero is amazing, especially if it gets temperature. I love this tire and I really haven't been a big fan of the PZero in the past. Actually, I drive the same tire on my Shelby GT500 and with the same result.

Carlos from Spain:well, Just finnished the RoadTest of the GTS! now I only need time to translate 7000+ words from spanish to english and upload 50 photos!
You might want to draft the 7000+ word text in Word first and then copy into RT's edit box. It's so frustrating when a post inadvertently gets "lost" during its input, as occasionally happens!
