OCD Medicine. That's exactly what it is for.

RaceChip GTS Black and RaceChip XLR are ready to ship whenever you are.

I flew into North Carolina yesterday to pick it up, and now I’m driving all the way back to Texas. So far it’s been a great road trip, I love it.

Excellent interior. I’m likely in the minority in this respect, but still appreciate the fact Porsche uses actual buttons for many of the cars features/options.

Wow, man! That thing is sweet! I know nothing about those cars, but assume it's relatively quick. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned.

If I had Porsche, I would just sit there as an idiot smiling and would hug the car and try to absorb all the vibes coming from engineering and history of that brand. Modding a Porsche is a whole different ballgame - you have to keep class and style.

Great way of putting it. Adds balance

Thanks, I plan to drive it for a month or two as it is to appreciate the stock form. I WILL be in touch.

Thank you, it was more difficult than you think to find one with an interior like this. Many/most/a lot have some sort of wood grain trim and I can’t do that. Not to mention the many different steering wheel options and 300 other interior a la carte options.
I do appreciate the buttons, but the transition has been a bit difficult after using the BMW iDrive daily for the past 4+ years.

Thanks! It is fast, not the fastest engine option but it is the V8 and AWD as well, the 4S. To be honest, I don’t have a lot of mods planned, she is amazing in stock form, I just want to do a few ’small’ mods, most won’t be seen.

I agree, I just drove her 1500 miles home and smiled all the way.
As to the mods, I don’t have a lot of aesthetic mods planned. Something like this

I can’t argue with that, I agree. Thanks

You had to go and show off that ass!

My search started 5-6 months ago and began with 911 4S (996/997 only).
In the end, a Panamera fit the bill for my current situation, so I have to put off the 911 until a later day.

Thats a beautiful C4S, wow.

I look forward to working with you on this project as well.

[Violator]

Here is a list of mods I am currently considering for the Panamera

- RaceChip GTS Black w/RaceChip XLR
- Exhaust (don’t have one in mind at the moment, recommendations?)
- Window tint
- Paint brake calipers
- Front Lip (undecided)
- Rear Diffuser (undecided)
- Upgrade the headlights (I am spoiled thanks to the X5 LEDs)

congrats on the Panamera, very cool!

I'm also looking for a second car (in my case more like a middle age crisis type car, totally useless, too expensive but fun), something like an i8 or 911

Man, those were my top choices.
Someday I’ll have one or both, need to get these kids through college and then it’s on.
The Panamera was a happy-medium.

my kids are not even in school yet so I can imagine they can fit on the i8 back seats; at least this is what I tell to my wife

That's why I got my 911. 3 years of ownership and both of my son (9/6) still fit in the back seats.

I was very close to get GT3 or GT3RS, but no back seats was the deal breaker.

[Violator]

No dice for me, two girls that are tall for their ages, tallest is 6’ at 14.

Go for it now, or you’ll be waiting a long time once they’re out of the “they’ll fit” zone.

I would pass the i8 though.
Getting in and out of it is a bitch.
Imagine if you have to get your kids in and out the back seat.

Yes, my buddy has one and if you're a good sized guy (6' and 200 lbs or more) you're going to have to hoist yourself in and out. Seats sit down.
