yes your the 1st person i have found who also has a 2012 model year of which is one of last built in july 2011. yours is 9 chassis numbers higher than mine i have only ever seen 1 more csxxx151 on line at an opc and that was a pdk what is yours?
Some would say PDK is arguably better if the car is for track work. In Sport & Sport Plus mode surely better for quick gear changes with minimal power loss when going flat out. How do you come to 1364kg? On top of the 25kg added by PDK to the 1275kg DIN weight, what else are you including in that figure?
Given that i've had as much of a buzz in my car on the EVO Triangle as I do on track (I prefer the tight twisty stuff); driving the Monaco street circuit would be a big thrill for me too. They should open it up pre or post race for the public to have a thrash while the barriers are up and roads closed. I'd happily pay to take Spyder round there[8D] Much better than driving through cones[

Mine is a defiantly a 2011 car .It was registered on Sept 2011 and not sold till March 2012 with 56 miles on it and cost new £54 .600. I bought it in March 2013 with 1450 miles and is now at 3200 so done more miles in the last 3 months than the previous owner did in a year. Will have to notify the insurance company as i will exceed the estimated mileage i thought i would do in it as it a hoot to drive soooooo quick compared to my old 987 and it puts a smile on my face every time i take it out . I think it is the only Red one in Scotland unless some one knows differently I think there is only about 6 in the U-K??
I think my car is also 2012. CSxxx079 Only Register by PC on 30/12/11 and then not sold until July 21st 2012 with less than 50 miles on. [/quote] yep so thats 3 uk 2012 model year cars found cant be many more out there! where did yours come from/what opc,what is the colour/spec. i might have seen it when i was looking.mine was registered 14/12/11 and purchased by myself 31/12/11 with 4 miles on the clock. [/quote] Spyderwhite Purchased privately but first owner purchased from PC Glasgow. Loads of detail etc on car around page 63 onward on this thread.
Bar me of course
I could say it ruins the interaction you want on track as we are not racing, I go to hone my driving skills and it's all part of the fun !!! I think PDK on track makes you lazy, you can shift down later , even into bends if you get it wrong and it will not matter, you driving skills just go south fast, as it is a skill driving a manual fast, but you need to be driving one all the time to hone them. but the extra weight means slower corner speed and longer brake distance, ( I am of course pulling your leg to make a point) also the PDK gets very hot on track and a lot of people seem to have to fit the centre rad which then adds even more weight you don't get a power loss on a manual car !!, you notice PDK vs manual more on a turbo car as it keeps the boost up on gear change with PDK. at the end of the day on track it's the geo which stops the car going faster, then the driver, then the tyres, and not many people are going to run -2.2 camber on a road car for a fun track day. I would love to get my car to 1200kg's but that would mean changing the seats of which I don't want to do. but for sports seated owners get some recaro Pole's and save way more weight than the Porsche bucket. It's only imho btw, after owning the M3 for 3 months with the better DCT box and every time I have a loan Porsche it has PDK, they just board me, after 30 mins of playing with it. I don't have a good thing to say about it on a fun car :-(
It's not just me saying that, when people were asking at the Gaydon meet up with 450 cars, people were saying there were 2 Spyders when there were 3 on site, no one noticed the black car. you can show 100 pics, but put it in a row of cars and it's looks bend to nothing. where as, I had people round my car all day asking questions and taking pics. on the pics site you will see my car posted by a few people, you will not see a picture of the black one posted anywhere.ORIGINAL: jdpef356Both 2010 Models, Just take a look, make a comparison - now do I need to go to the opticians?[
Mine has sports seats, seat heaters, climate control, & PCM[&o] I daren't weigh it as I think the psychological effects on performance will be most powerful. I'm already hankering after buckets but more for how they feel but also the weight comes into mind even if it won't feel any quicker. MrD what do you mean by Recaro poles?
