Well, I've gone and done it...

Hey all. After much deliberation and discussion with myself (that sounds worse than it is) and my wife (was worse than it sounds) I decided to move from my 2012 CTT. Thanks to my man Geoff @ Isringhausen Imports, 2 weeks ago I took delivery of my new baby.

So far, VERY impressed. Definitely as quick as my CTT if not a little more. Do miss some of that Turbo rush, but the sound and feel of this NA V8 is GREAT!

I got everything I wanted except PCCBs and rear apron painted. The latter of which is currently under remedy. Below are specs, followed by pics. Hope to share some better pics in the near future, and especially after a little caliper mod and new shoes...

2013 Panamera GTS
GT Silver
Full black leather 14 way seats (would have loved the 18 way in leather, but couldn't find one with my other essentials)
Vent/Heated seats
Sports Chrono
Turbo II Wheels
Burmester
MF steering with TechArt paddle conversion
K40 complete install
Piano trim
PASM, PDCC
SAT radio
Porsche Crests headrests
Six Disc CD/DVD
Electric shades
Servotronic
Painted sideskirts
Entry & Drive
Park Assist with F/R sensors, Camera
Heated steering wheel

Every color, with the possible exception of black, looks better in pictures than in the configurator.

Having seen a GT Silver Panamera in person, I think it looks even better than these pictures. I think it's definitely worth the $2k or whatever it is over the other silver offered.

Very nice garage you have there, sir.

I'm not a big fan of the way the Panamera looks, but I like yours - sharp looking car.

Yeah mate. Picked her up in January. Absolutely love her.

My order slot for the 458 Spider is coming up in Feb/March, but likely gonna cancel the order and order another California (or her supposed replacement with BiTurbo V8 over 600HP) in place. The Cali is a great sports/GT car. Very, very quick in it's current setup, and with a drop and lightweight wheels, very attractive.

My kids love it, and the have an absolute blast when I take them to school.
