Picked mine up last Friday, finally got to road trip it this weekend.

What a ride... Just cruising is pleasant (wish the PZeros were a bit quieter).

Go to pass (note: I have DSG), punch it, drops to 3rd, pull around car, then shifts to fourth, suddenly I'm doing 90. Oh crap! Corner! Brakes!!

Did that a few more times, but had an idea what was going to happen. Just wow...

pic link till I can figure out embedding it...

edit: On that pass, can really feel the pull after the shift to 4th. I see what people mean that it 'falls off' past 5k rpm. Will have to seriously consider APR or Stasis...

Congrats! Looks good. Once the surprises go away, there is more and more of a need to do it again and again fully knowing what is going to happen. It doesn't get old. Try out the Sport Diff next! It is addicting, watch out. Have about 6000 miles on mine now and love it more and more.

Congrats on the new ride

DSB is absolutely spectacular; it's subtle, sophisticated, and has a depth to it that can only be seen in person. The Ti package appears to complement it very well with just a hint of aggressiveness. Great choice.

Agree on DSB, love it, but I couldn't handle the potential for swirls. First time I saw one was overcast, and it looked like midnight to me, then when I saw one later in full sun, I was amazed at the amount of flash from the metallic in the paint, very pretty color!

Unless you just HAVE to have the two tone, Hartmann makes all silver versions in 18 and 19 and Achtuning has them 10% off through end of Oct.
