Where my terminal point is vs the M5 is about 2 mph lower but again its just an eyeball test. Its in that high 10's at 127.xx now vs 3-4 mph slower at stock. Whats even more enjoyable now is that burst in the low speeds which I already liked in OEM format. There is that extra tq burst which the car needed especially over 100 mph. Now when the electrics shut down at 120+ the car still pulls strong.
I think this is really the most Ill get out of the car and thats fine; now Ill just enjoy it for what it is- a good all rounder with some flair!

Thanks Vic - I think that makes sense with a tune - a couple of (2-3) tenths and a couple of (2-3) MPH. With that bump - is a pretty solid performer - for especially that price point and the exotic look. Very good to know (and congrats!)...
I'm with Onfire though - I think the 991.2 Turbo S is in my future...all round easy ingress/egress/cruiser/performance/ and one day/direct OBDII port tuning (I would not touch it until that is available - I am not taking the ECU out to ship it somewhere). Plus I am really not sure about the new 992 interior (and although I like the outside - more width - not sure about that back end).
