Here are a few pictures of my 991 waiting to be registered, still sitting in the show room floor. Canīt wait to fully get my hands on it in about a month when the roads have cleared. I will be posting pictures and thoughts in this thread once its in our garage!

These pics were all shot with ISO way too high, so I tried to salvage them, hence the smokiness in some of them!

 

Oh my or my - love it! Can't wait to get your impressions on the drive! Congrats, the wait is going to hurt. Here in Toronto it looks like spring but -6

 

same here...great shots and the manual shifter looks so good.

Please post your impressions when possible.

all the best...congrats.

 

Thanks guys I appreciate it! I will definitely post my impressions and post more pictures as soon as possible!

My first impressions of the car stationary: The 7-speed shifter feels super sorted and I absolutely love the "click" it makes when shifting, reminds of the open H-pattern R8 shifter. The shifter is placed in a new place, which actually feels really good and more natural for me. The clutch is not as lethal as it was in the 997 GT3 RS, which is good. The interior, from what I managed to inspect, is on a total new level compared to e.g my old 997 TT. Headroom is drastically better than before (used to be an issue for me at 6ī6) and it seems like there is a nice amount of space in the back. All in all I love the color combo and the wheels are spectacular, the 295s in the back really give it the proper stance.

 

I'm 6'2", so im curious...how is the legroom and room for your feet in the footwell?

 

Was it easy to sell the 2 TT and go for the new 991...?

 

I felt very comfortable in the car, the room for my feet in the footwell was surprisingly good, not a problem at all. Legroom is more than I expected, excellent. I sat in a Cayman after the 991 and oh boy what a difference.. I did not feel any discomfort in the 991 is what Iīm trying to say .


The TT (997.1) was a great car, but I moved on to different things. I miss the car but not the turbo lag . This was before the 991 came out, so I guess it was easy?

 

congrats! Looks great. Enjoy

 

Same, at 6'3 I felt like there was plenty more headroom. The shifter is incredible looking.

 

CONGRATS!!!

I'm 6'5" (265pnds) with meat hooks and a shoe size which really has no business in a sports car , I've got a 991 manual on order as well but (I guess like everyone else) have only been able to test drive the PDK... and I have to say, I was very impressed with how involving/fun that was.

Thats said, there is no substitute for good old heel and toe action nor the free revving of that awesome exhaust...
But I am wondering what the footwell will feel like when you start moving your feet around in there working the peddles.
I'd be very interested to get your impressions when yo take it out for a drive (also as it pertains to the difference in character between the C and CS).

Cheers!!!

 

What a great looking build. Enjoy! I'm 6'2" and headroom was good, but not great, especially with a helmet on. I have a long torso, not long legs -leg room is fantastic. But head room requires me to keep my seat set virtually on the floor, and on the floor with a helmet - I brought one to my test drive - quite a few stares.

 

Cheers!

Congrats on the order buddy! MT is truly the key to really be one with the car . I have size 13 kicks and I will definitely report back on my impressions once Iīve set sail sort of speak .

 

Looks fantastic!
Can't wait to see more Base 991s

 

Congrats. Car looks fantastic. Love those wheels.

Shifter looks great.

...and I wonder, would a stock manual shift boot be possible to cover the PDK shifter base? It would look so much better!

 

Thank you! Glad to hear other people enjoy the leg room too! Mine was also down as far as it goes, which is standard procedure in all the cars I drive . Your helmet story made my day .

Thanks! Neither can I!
