Were you at C&O just outside of Atlanta, yesterday? I wasn't able to go but their FB page posted pics and one of the Turbos looked just like yours. |

Thanks everyone! Carmine Red is the Best red! This is my first, and most surely not my last, P car!
My dad had an old 356 and then a Carrera when I was a kid. I'll always remember those leisurely weekend drives and talking to random people!

I optioned the manual gear box and 18 way seats and it does feel like it’s all business but I won’t be able to give an feedback except looks after spending $136k plus all the fees and taxes. |

I opt for the back seats. No leather, stitching or other options like Bose. I did add the wagon wheels because my wife likes them. I probably would have added other options but they get expensive quick. |

I have had access to a Z8, 456GT, M3, E63 and now my 911T. The Z8 was a sweet car, that V8 just matched that car perfectly.

Honestly, if you’ve driven a 911 you’ll find “supercars” drive very similarly. The biggest difference is the upscaling of the interior, more exotic looks and more exotic engine. |

View Quote I totally understand. I spent just shy of 20K on options for mine, and I dialed back from what I built in the configurator. If my T would have been an S instead, I probably would have spent another 5K, easy, since I would have gone leather interior. As it sits, I'm going to have to spent another $1000 on retrofitting the FE since I had to delete it, back when it was going to be a European Delivery.. Grr.. |

That first road is gorgeous, but I'd worry about flying into a corner and finding boulders on the road for the second.
Honestly, I like the Cherohala Skyway better than TotD (too tight, too many accident & cops), but when we went Saturday there were reports of snow on the road and Cup 2s + snow = bad. |
