2011 911 Turbo S

I finally got the 2011 911 Turbo S.

I ordered in August, 2010 and the car got here end of December and I got the delivery on 1/4/2011 TUE... Finally!!!

This has been my longest wait in my car purchasing history. Never waited for something this long but it's worth the wait.

I am quite picky when it comes to options.

The reason I ordered it was because from Porsche factory, most cars come with options that I don't need and I don't want; AND they don't come with options that I want!

I opted for the no-cost Sports Bucket seats (2-tone) option that is an expensive option for most other cars. Got the white gauges for the speedometer/tachometer part and Sport Chrono.

Also, got the clear taillights and body-color painted center console. The car is White and the seats are White/Black.

The car wasn't as fast as I thought it would be since I'm already spoiled with the 458 that I got the delivery in August last year. But it's quite good. I think these two cars are about the same in terms of acceleration. Off the line is better with the 911 since it has the AWD and PDK (and "usable" launch control) but on the highway speeds, I think these two cars are neck to neck although I haven't tested them yet.

I will post more writings when I get some more feedback with my new car.

Thanks for your write up. I remember you when you ordered it, and asked you to compare it to the 458 when you got it. So thanks again, and enjoy!

Yes. Irvine. I got some friends around here but everyone is busy so haven't really been able to gather lately... If you get a chance to come down or to a drag racing event (Famoso on Feb 12 SAT)... it would be nice...

Wow, that's cool! I've never been to a drag racing event! I'll look you up if I am free to come down. Is it usually night time?
