Default Got my 2009 Turbo!

Guys-

I picked up my new car last week and spent all day Saturday unwrapping and cleaning it. I drove it a good part of the day Sunday and just love it. What an incredible machine! The build quality of the turbo seems a little more solid than my previous NA 911's, but perhaps I am biased towards this car.

It is Riviera blue. Notable options include LSD, short shift kit, lots of leather, painted rear center console and seatbelt outlets, thick steering wheel, upgraded shift **** and handbrake lever, lighted door sills, aerokit. Early mods include Techart lowering springs and wheel spacers. Clear side markers are coming soon.

Enjoy the pics. I am going out for a drive.

Sweet.

Forgive me asking about the LSD...how does this relate to the electronic aids such as PSM, PTM (traction mg't?)...etc

LSD is a mechanical traction control involving clutch discs to apportion torque between the rear wheels. Not sure how Porsche gets it working with the other stuff.

Thanks, everybody.

I took the car back to the dealership yesterday because Jeremy, who is my salesman, and a couple of other guys there wanted to see the car unwrapped and cleaned up. I also picked up a set of clear side markers which Jeremy was kind enough to "donate" to me. He is a really nice guy and a great salesman.

Afterwards, I spent the whole afternoon just tooling around town in the car and can't think of a better way to have spent my afternoon off. What a machine!

More pics with the clear sides to follow.

Wish my dealer let me take home my car like that.
