Am I nuts?
I just got my first Porsche (MT)and its got PSE, heated seats, dimming mirrors and 20" wheels and I couldnt be happier. I'm adding Carbon Fiber dash, console and shifter tomorrow along with a set of HRE P101. 991.2 comes with Voice command, Nav, Apple car play etc. Easy to add to that list, as I did many times, but I won't track it so I didnt see the value in PASM etc. That might change in a year or two but I doubt it. Base works for me.

This is exactly what I did and I also have a deposit on a future .2 GT3 allocation so in the meantime I picked up from dealer inventory a 103k-msrp .2 Carrera with a manual. There were a few options I didn't mind but I got it down to the mid 90k's after negotiations. No sport chrono neither but just enough sport-related goodies to make me happy including PSE which is a must for me. I was surprised they even had an M7 in stock... they said the Manuals are quite scarce since nearly all that are equipped with it are based on a customer's sold pre-ordered but they built one for inventory last minute as one of their last allocations. This one just arrived... and I took it home.



Beautiful car. Mine is GR as well. LOVE IT!!

Lol okay one last pic... but you're going to like Guards Red since it looks sharp on the new .2 plus after all it's also one of Porsche's longtime signature standard color. I have a 25% grade tinted windows (tintfilm by Suntek) so obviously it enhances its sporty appearance.



Just waiting on the clear lens markers up front to arrive which the dealer threw in for free....

It's a great color........looks very different in different kinds of light.

Very blue in shadows and low light and almost gray in direct sunlight.

My pair of clear LED front marker lenses arrived & installed... gift from the dealer. Yesterday I installed the 991.2 S front chin splitter. Easy peasy... looks much better now than the standard one.

The base car is a wonderful driver. I wish my commute was longer, so the car could be driven more often!

Like that splitter. How much was it? Easy to install? Looks great.
