911S
I love my M3, but the new 911S is devastating. Perfection in many ways. Here's a series of photos I took on Hwy 74, near Palm Springs CA. Taken with my Leica M240, 75mm Summicron and 28mm Elmarit.

That road looks amazing; gotta say though and I may be alone on this, but I prefer the 997. New cars are getting bigger and bigger and the 991 is no exception. I can't get used to the smaller rear lamps also. Don't get me wrong I would drive one every day, but I prefer the cars of older. All cars too. Seems newer cars are getting fitted with too much tech and other gadgets that just kill resale as people are afraid of them secondhand and they loose the "driver centric" experience.
Give me a car w/ power windows, radio and AC and I'm set..... Okay, rant over. Nice pics! |

It is another level compared to the M3, but that also includes the price. nice pick up and that road looks incredible.

Wow that looks like fun. Did you run into any cops on that road or can you blast through.

Great car is an understatement as the 991 is the single best non hyper car sports/exotic on the market and the biggest game changer since the last 911. You're the only person I've ever heard say it felt big, bc its not by any stretch. Its 3300 lbs and drives like a 3000 lbs car. The M3 must feel like an 18 wheeler by comparison then if the 991 felt big. Just a cool stat, the 991 was the only car on MTs best drivers car that had roll of under 1% on cornering. No other car was under 2%, and I'm pretty sure the m3 wouldn't even be in the 2% range. OP - Congrats on the car! Last edited by Wolfinwolfsclothing; 04-09-2014 at 08:34 PM.. |

There is just not a bad angle for that car, and those wheels! Great shooting btw. I have never shot with a Leica but always wanted to (the $$$$ :/). I am hoping the recent offerings of full-frame rangefinder sized cameras will lead to some actual competition in that market space, but it will always be tough to beat that glass.
