The other day.I wrote an article about purchasing the 911 Carrera 4 GTS (first half of 991)However, today I would like to write about the delivery date and the first impression, continuing from the last time.

On the day of delivery

While preparing and sending documents etc.It took about three weeks to reach the day of delivery.You can pay an additional delivery fee and have it carried by a loaded vehicle, but that is not the case.Porsche ride that runs and thinks of NamboIt is only meaningful to deliver the car if you go to pick it up yourself, drive it, and come back.

The event called "delivery" includes the journey to your home after receiving the car at the store.

At first, I was going to go to Nagoya by Shinkansen from Kansai, but I heard that.Mr. TAKURO.However, he told me that I would go with him, so I decided to take it with my words.

We met in Osaka city on the day, and TAKURO came to the meeting place with a 981 type Boxster GTS. "Use GTS to deliver GTS!"When. I'm really happy about the concern.

Two Ossans board Boxster and aim for Nagoya, a connecting road with the Meishin Expressway and the Shin-Meishin Expressway. In the car, it's almost about cars and Porsche.The journey of the two Ossans continues while having fun in the car.

I arrived in Nagoya in the afternoon and headed for the store. Immediately after arriving, sign the procedure documents and listen to the explanation of the documents. After that, check the current car. The sales person in charge also knew that I was riding some Porsche, so I asked him to omit the explanation of how to use the vehicle and received the key.

In the parking lot of the store, TAKURO boarded the 981 Boxster GTS, and I boarded the 991.1 Carrera 4 GTS that I just received.

When I start the engineTAKURO, who was next to me, said, "Bikku! ], I was surprised at the excessive explosion at the cold start.When I heard the story later, it seemed to be a fairly loud sound and I was really surprised.

To Ibukiyama Driveway

Finish the first refueling at a nearby gas station. It's a waste to go home as it is, soI was planning to go home after running on the Ibukiyama DrivewayIt is. From Nagoya city, take a highway for about an hour and go to Sekigahara IC.

The 991.1 GTS is very easy to ride in the city, and although it is an NA engine, it is torqueful and agile. Ride at high speed, merge into sports mode and step on a little. ThenA super loud roar can be heard from my back.It is very thick and has sound pressure, and has a weight like 10% more than 981 GTS.

From TAKURO who is behind at the traffic light"Sound is dangerous! 』\Message is entered. As I learned later, it sounds more like a roar outside than listening in the car. As expected, the GTS of this era is enthusiastic about producing sound.

From the entrance of Ibukiyama Driveway, switch to sports mode and switch to manual paddle shift. This day was a weekday evening, so it was almost all-you-can-run.

The first half is followed by a slightly tight uphill corner. It has more power than Boxster, so it is considerably faster. Compared to the turbo engine 992, the instantaneous power of acceleration is lost, but the torque of the naturally aspirated engine is very pleasant.The feeling that speed, torque, and sound are proportional is irresistible.

I thought I was going through the corner comfortably, but when I asked TAKURO, who was chasing from behind, later,"It was insanely fast! ]. Apparently, they will be separated when they stand up from the corner.

Certainly, if you are riding, you can step on the accelerator one tempo faster when you escape the corner compared to RR 911. With a normal RR 911, it feels more reassuring to start stepping on whether the direction of the whole car changes.In the case of the 4WD 911, there is a sense of security that you can start stepping on the front tires when you turn the steering wheel and the direction of the front tires changes.Therefore, the driver intends to run comfortably with great peace of mind, but in reality it seems that he is running at a fairly good pace.

As you get closer to the summit, the scenery opens up and the scenery spreads out. It's a beautiful mountain winding. I slowed down a little, switched the paddle shift to automatic transmission, and reached the top of the mountain while cruising.

On the way, I had TAKURO test drive,"Stable as a great car" "Smoothly move forward in a flat posture"And that. He said he thought he could step on any corner with confidence.

TKURO himself talks about his impressions around here in the space of 9/25, so if you are interestedMissed listening deliveryI would be grateful if you could listen to it.

Drive on the highway to return

We parted at Mt. Ibuki and headed home to each other.

The weather was getting worse that day, and it was raining a lot on the highway on the way back. Even soCarrera 4 GTS has excellent stability. This is an all-weather 911.. It runs as if there was no rain or puddle. The flat ride feeling in the high speed range is defeated by GT3, but the straight running stability is quite high. It's a good match with the 992 Carrera Cabriolet, or the GTS has a slightly louder sound, so there is a sense of speed. However, there is a strong sense of security as a whole.

There is no shortage of high-speed corners and a feeling of acceleration when overtaking.It seems to be addictive to accelerate so that it can be played with a pleasant sound, and to synchronize the speed and range.

Since it is a used car, I was a little worried about the common misalignment of the steering wheel center and the problem of straightness due to misalignment, but this is also no problem at all.
There is a slight creaking noise from the interior on a slightly rough road surface, but this can be fixed by having the dealer adjust it at a later date.

Overall, I think I made a good purchase this time. It was a very satisfying and high quality individual.
I ordered it with a nice specification and he was riding politelyThanks to the former owneris. If you have read this blog, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that I will take good care of this car from now on, so please be assured.

Also, I'd like to get into the detailed review a little more and then revisit it, so please look forward to that as well.
