First week impressions

WOW

and

WOW.

This is one totally beautiful car. In all respects. Driving it is a blast. My wife thinks it's too loud and I agree with her. But why have a Porsche if not for the sound of the engine?

Since I've taken possession (or should I say it's taken possession of me), I've done the following:

1) Das Schild
2) Porsche Sports Exhaust Tips (polished by Ralph!)
3) Umbrella
4) Washed 3 times, claybar and Zanio'd once
5) Got the window tinted
6) made up excuses to drive (Oh, honey, did you want that book from the library? I'll go get it, since you look tired!)

As you can tell, I'm besotted

One thing I did notice in my cleaning chores: the rear air intakes are black on the Midnight Blue cars. Not a big deal, but I figured it would be midnight blue.

Joe,

Maybe it is combination of getting used to the sound and maintaining steady RPM. At around 70 MPH, the sound synchronizes with the car and it becomes less evident. Your speed should be different because of the Automatic transmission. One thing is certain, the engine will sound stronger as the miles pile up. I can relate to your running to the book store/library. Since I bought my CS I have not minded going to the bakery early Saturday and Sunday mornings for fresh bread.

My wife is used to her Infiniti. It's pretty quitet.

The Cayman is louder than her car, not that there's anything wrong with that!

Joe, if you are like me you probably have the advantage of "age induced" hearing changes. Rock and Roll days pay back.....
