New Owner - My likes and dislikes

Totally agree about the clock. Now if someone came out with an analogue replacement that matched the oil and battery guage they would make a killing on here.

I've had my car for the past 2 years and I have yet to come up with adequate complaints that'll make me regret purchasing my beautiful baby. It has the right amount of horsepower for me (not too much and not too little). It keeps up with most cars that like to play around on the interstate and back roads. I will say that if you run into a F-350 turbo, you're going to have to work them gears. I was surprised about how it kept up and had to drop it from 4th to 3rd just to get ahead...

Also, once you start with the upgrades you will continue on that path. I bought the base 6-speed so upgrade is all I do. Looking to buy the Berk HFC and hopefully it matches up with the injen exhaust I have on there.

Some of those trucks are no jokes, as far as straight line point and shoot kinda speed. I lived in Texas for 2 years and I can't count how many times I was challenged by souped up diesel trucks.

I owned a 2006 Cayman s and the only way it beats my Z is in handling. Nothing beats a mid-engine Porsche for handling. And well let's not forget it's a Porsche! But other than that I'll take my Z every time!

Easy, just find some curves in the road.
