Thanks everyone
350 miles driven since I got it
1 this car feels much faster than a 911 s even though it isn't. This car makes Porsche feel almost soul less
2 the S was totally the right choice for me. It's fast enough by far and all around just works for me
3 the transmission is brilliant in sport mode and when using the paddles. Normal mode feels fine until you out your foot into it and the shifting feels very weird.
4 white was totally a great choice. It looks brilliant! Shows off the carbon fiber bits and just compliments the body lines
5 premium audio is well worth the upgrade. My iPhone songs sound amazing
6 the navi isn't that bad. Much better than Mercedes but can't touch the Porsche
7 the exhaust is amazing!!
8 the car is very comfortable to drive all day
Overall I now know this was a much better choice for me over the 911 gts
I am officially converted!

Oh and also want to add the following: In two weeks the windows get tinted. I also have the dealer looking at the glass in front of the gauges as there appears to be a smudge on the inside of the glass from the factory.
Bluetooth works well enough however is a bit temperamental.
I also had my first experience taking this to a place with a Valet. I simply asked the guy, have you driven one of these before. He said no. So I said, Ok where am I parking it for you? He then asked to take the key, I asked if he has a way to secure it since he cant tag it. He said no, I gave him my cell phone and said call me if you need it moved, Ill keep the key.

What was the issue with letting him drive, though?

I had the car delivered to me, and it had been a month since my test drive of a vantage. It took me a few minutes to remember the keys workings, It took me a few minutes to remember how to get the Ebrake to disengage. So I figured it would be easier to park it for him, than to explain it to him. I still tipped him. Also, the guy had key rings on his belt which I didnt want to scratch up anything.
