Nice write-up. If we don't get the steering wheel (which seems 100% now), do we still get the S btn?

Default I have

been to Barcelona before.... fun town but can be dangerous in spots... I just cancled a 3 week trip to Germany, Austria and Italy just way too busy right now.... I am kind of pissed about it... had A Porsche booked and was going to go to the Ring for a "few" laps and then Oktober Fest.... man just typing this pisses me off. Oh well there will be other times.

Again very glad to hear you had such a good time... see you at Sears and maybe before.... going to do teh wine country thing Sia is setting up?

Default it was not a scientific measurement...

but it felt about the same 0-60 (give or take of course). It's not suprising, see my comments about gearing and redline. Sure it's lighter, and more powerful, but 0-60 times are not really good indicators, mainly for marketing BS.

That said, YES it's MUCH faster than my b6s4 0-100. Again, not scientific, but very obvious.
