992 order... What are your specs?
- Thread starter 6appeal
- Start date
Blooming eck, past the 2,000 mile mark on the motorway at midnight last night heading home, followed by tight country roads.
Car proper bedded in now, it's a serious serious weapon... experimenting with the different modes on different roads. It takes sweeping or tight corners in such a flat and controlled manner, but so smooth on even terrible roads. The acceleration is on another level! Took my dad out for a ride, he was a mechanic and car technical trainer before retiring and he was in absolute shock experiencing a launch start pinned in his seat (thought I'd given him a blooming heart attack!!). He couldn't stop laughing afterwards once he composed himself.
I love the 992 exhaust tone! You can have some right fun, the deep warble at 1,000 rpm, the scream of foot down, flick of the accelerator in between.
Right, I best get another 2,000 miles on it this next week!!!

Oh the classic moment when i went away this week and went to hang up a suit in the back of my car to find the 992 has got rid of the coat hooks in the rear that were in the 991. lol no complaints, through the fecker on the back seat instead, as i see there are now airbags in the back for the rear passengers.

Re: 992! Can.
I don't have one yet mate, but i ordered one a month ago and they said november/december for delivery! so i said i will wait until 1st march to collect it. about 6 months seems accurate for lead times for C4S? i can't wait for mine if i am honest!!

I went for gentian blue, but I would have loved to see white with the black Porsche decals on the side. Unfortunately the configurator wouldn't show it so I didn't have the bottle. Would love to see pics of yours mate, which white did you go for?

Standard white . got it last week, and believe it on not I don't even have a decent photo of it to share !. its tucked away since weekend coz of this dreadful weather . It will be out tomorrow and I'll share after .I thought about the decals for a few seconds....nah, not my thing but to be honest I see older cars in certain colours and can look good. A light blue ( a custom color I suspect ) I saw in a recent Targa with the "Porsche" down the side looked the business.

Thanks! Wasn't a fan of graphics or white but when I saw the Carrara white metallic I had to switch from plain black.
