Were you guys at the M Shack in Nocatee just a little bit ago?

I saw 3 there, but didn't have my car so I felt weird to stop :P

Yes, that was 3 of us that were there today. (Turns out that particular M Shack is closed on Sundays.)

Stop by and introduce yourself next time, car or not.

Had fun driving around the Nocatee with you gents today. Thanks for the heads up Centurion.

The GTS was great. A small amount of turbo lag was noticable as high as 4k RPM, but once the turbos got up to speed the power was amazing...man.




The Panamera Turbo was fun, with a boat load of torque. I know manual mode surprised a few of us at redline as it didn't shift up automatically. Never got to see the mechanical ballet of the folding rear spoiler/wing.

Great pics Ado! It was a load of fun. I really wanted to drive the 911 and Cayman back to back to see which I preferred. On looks alone, the Cayman has nothing on the 911. The rear hips of the 911 GTS were gorgeous! The 911 cabin felt roomer/spacious inside while not compromising on the "sporty" experience. On the turns, the Cayman felt more neutral, likely due to its superior balance as a mid-engine car. However, the 911 was certainly more exciting, especially while experiencing the rear traction if offers when accelerating out of the turns. Inside, the Cayman feels as high end as the 911 (of course all cars there were highly optioned). However, from the outside the 911 looks more substantial--making the Cayman look like the "entry level" Porsche. After the test drive today, however; I walked out with an even greater appreciation for what the s2000 overs from a driving experience standpoint for the money. Not to forget, both Porsche instructors (straight out of Barber in AL by the way) were class acts. Down to earth, engaging, and we had good talks about track days.
