Nice upgrade dude, congrats! OP, I am curious, but did you have an Evo 9 back in 2005-2006? Your screen name looks familiar but I could be wrong lol.

Ahha so I was right lol, yeah I remember your video from Atco very well back in 05-06. I also wish I still had my Evo 9 till this day, but thieves are garbage.

Congrats again on the Porsche.

How do you like the PDK?? Was your M3 DCT?
How is S-PASM? I ordered PDK and S-PASM.

My EVO 9 was the 1st one to run in the 11's at the time and so many people said that it wasnt possible with just a turboback and tune but so i had to film it to prove it.

to the theives that stole your car

To be honest I went with the PDK because i liked the DCT in the M3 so much.
I drove a 7spd car to see if i wanted to switch back to a manual but the car just didnt feel as fast.

The car with S-PASM looks alot better to me because of the lowered stance. With this option iam positive that i will never touch the suspension because i really wouldnt want the car to be any lower.

How is the ride quality with S-PASM?

hova00 · 02-16-2013, 04:22 PM

Ride quality is good even in the sport plus. I have hit some bumps and dips in the road and the car handled it very well so far no issues with it.

STALKER · 02-16-2013, 04:24 PM

Good to know. Our roads in Toronto are horrible, so I was a bit worried ordering Sport PASM.

I miss my Evo VIII...they were such perfect, raw cars.

I'm sure the 911 makes it easier to forget though!

Funny you say that because i think that an M5/M6 might be next for me.

Wow that is funny. Why ? Too small? Comfort?

hova00 · 02-19-2013, 08:34 PM

I pulled the trigger on an M5 today also felt sad to part away with my 911 which I thought I'd keep for years

hova00 · 02-20-2013, 06:50 AM

When it comes to cars I wanna try them all at least once

i001947 · 02-20-2013, 12:20 PM

IMO, the Porsche 911 S is the next car after owning a BMW M3. Before I bought my M3, the only car left on the list to compare with was the 911 S. But for me, $125K was more car I could afford.

You did the right thing.

Enjoy it!

So true.

Test drove a base 991 convertible the other day while my Cayman was getting new rear tires. Handled great, very nice inside. Currently, 2 yr residuals on the 991 are so good that the monthly may be about the same as a Cayman S that lists for $20k, less, will have to see if that trend continues when my lease is up next year.
