Hey guys - thanks for the comments.

Taipan - totally stock, very happy with it as it is. Not sure about doing any mods at this stage - as if I was going to do it I would want to do it properly so it would cost $$$ (not sure if I can justify the costs at the moment - as it is an everyday car).

Still so fast as it is

Totally stock should be plenty fast! I think its just the feeling that almost everybody with a turbocharged car seems to start thinking mods at earlier or later stage. I cant imagine a almost 500hp car starting to feel slow but I guess you do get used to the power and then start to crave more. But especially before the warranty is out it might be wiser to minimize the mods to the engine.

It amazingly fast, and not only that it just handles so incredibly well - 4WD is so much better than I thought it would be.

At the London Motorshow yesterday there was a TechArt 997 Turbo on a Trade Stand, very very tempting! (although Porsche themselves weren't there!). Very tempting also to try chipping it, but again I would like to do it properly - hence the TechArt mention ;-)

Car has been faultless so far (unlike the M5 when I had it). But expensive cars should??? be faultless!
