New 991S Cab!
Hi All!
Well, I picked up my new 991S Cab on Saturday and it has been a total dream to drive. Already have about 225 miles on her and so far so good. Cruising with the top down is just fantastic. A lot of people have been staring and taking pics, hope it doesn't last! I like to be somewhat under the radar.
I've noticed the lack of low end torque, but I don't mind it since it's a comfortable cruiser as much as it is a sports car. I came from a X5M so this is a total inverse experience. I really like it and find the handling extraordinary. Steering is just so precise.
I drove a 997.2 for awhile too and this is a totally different animal. That car felt much more raw...this is just more refined. It's just different. I like the 991 better. I know people may bicker back and forth, but the 991 is just polished and enjoyable to drive in any situation.
Here is my spec for those wondering:
Black Basalt
Luxor Biege Full Leather
Premium Plus
PDK
Sport Chrono
Park Assist
Burnmester Audio Package
20" Carrera Classic Wheels w/painted crests
Folding Ext. Mirrors
Heated Mulit-function Wheel
(some other stuff I forgot...sorry, lots of options!)
Had the windows tinted 35% and clear side markers and body-colored rear reflectors are inbound!
Time for pics!
Sorry for no pics with the top down, next time. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Beautiful car. I really like the roof line of the 991 Cab. If the day was as nice as it looks in the pictures, I sure hope you spent more time with the top down than up.

Looks like he took a trip up the Palisades Parkway to me. Bear Mountain is probably the first place I would head with a brand new 991S too!

Definitely! We were doing a lot of highway driving at the time so it was more comfortable with the top up...but on the back roads, top down for sure...it really changes the whole experience. This is my first convertible and it's just great!
