Thank you all for your feedback. Definitely an awesome car that I've been enjoying since day one and very humbling/blessed to own one. Here's another pic for your guys. Definitely shows its true current stance from the rear:

Congrats on the car, I've heard great things about the 991. Enjoy many happy miles in her.
Oh boy, I hope that's not the case. It drives me insane at times, especially after a long day at work

They only squeal when I install my Pagid track pads, but that's to be expected.

I have the Akra exhaust on mine, sounds pretty awesome.
Lucky, man! I definitely need my exhaust to arrive to at least help diminish the braking noise. I've heard sound clips of the Akra exhaust. Definitely sounds like a beast

I dont like the wheels, they look like chrome wheels, too much bling for a proper sports car.
Thanks! The finish I chose is actually a light brush on the top of the face with polished windows (all with clearcoat on top). Here's a pic of my wheel up close:

Yup, I got the regular carrera. I know if I test drove the S, I would not be able to drive the regular carrera and regret not going with the S haha. Given my budget, the base was the only way to go.

I'll try to do a more thorough review next time. But in a nutshell, the looks/interior controls/navi/power for daily driving are all on point and I would say "better" than the bimmer. I really thought I would miss the M3. After a good day of driving in the 991, however, the only thing I miss about the M3 was the 6MT/engine noise. The PDK is super fast and still fun to drive but I do miss stick shift at times. I definitely can't complain about the MPG either on the 991 compared to the M3, and the turning in the 991 is just flawless and easy. Everything about the 991 just seems solid and opens up nicely/linearly at WOT.
