Congrats stealth. Great car and great write up. Another cause for #2 in positive column is rear engine weight bias. One of the beautiful characteristics of the 911
Have fun and stay safe |

No interest in tune or lowering. Find the car is already plenty low and I am paranoid about damaging the front aero. Plus I think the handling and power are already perfect. I did see your car and it looks smashing. The color combo I would have loved was Sapphire Blue with Espresso/Cognac interior (@coldlist if you are reading get this in a coupe so I can buy it off you later), but this is a close second and it has all the right options.

That's a good looking color combination. Congratulations Stealth.
I noted in your description that you mentioned a big sense of control and that you can use power oversteer in public. I enjoy this feature in my f-type when safe and have held off against going for a 16 because they went AWD in the 8...would you say that it is rear biased enough to allow you enough slip around the back? Does traction breakaway as easily as the R or is it more smooth and progressive? I gotta make time and go drive the car. Thanks! |

It still felt like being north of the wall. The winter was brutal.

Congrats on the 991, looks great. It is quite a car. I have europipe exhaust as well, that burble in sport mode upon deceleration never gets old.
The front aero is not as fragile as you think. I have scraped it on the tarmac twice. It's actually rather flexible and the "airbags" behind it are durable as well. Afterwards you see some contact marks on the rubber lip, which promptly disappear after a quick wash/detail. If you press and hold the spoiler button (ignition on or engine on), they will retract or extend on demand. The rear takes about 3 seconds and the front takes about 10 seconds.
