Ha - I've called people out before that I know in real life that even list cars they don't have in their signatures.... one in particular states his 991.1 has a powerkit/X51 but opted to not go with a 3rd radiator since he was totally busted with his pictures clearly showing no 3rd radiator. haha. Yup.

Too funny and true!

It’s not perfect, the rear still isn’t great. However, I still like it as a total package. Enough that wife and I will buy one and do ED.

Rennlist is full of Looky Lou’s and window shoppers who criticize. ‘I would buy this if it had yellow stitching instead of red’. Meanwhile they haven’t bought a car in ages. I’m an enthusiast, but I want to be enthusiastic from behind the wheel even if the car isn’t perfect. Nothing in life is perfect.

I'd argue few people are hating or saying it's a bad car, just that they either don't see a reason to trade up (if you'd consider it trading up) or they were underwhelmed given the huge amount of hype. Some see it as a big jump in price for very little additional value. Nothing wrong with that.

I'll be keeping my 981. Lighter, less tire, and I suspect will be rarer.

Separately, I wonder why the 718 Clubsport wing didn't make it to the GT4 road car...

Was talking to a friend recently about by BS and he found a beautiful example... (987.2S Manual, no miles, the right mods) and says well I found a newer one for less.... 981 base, high miles, pdk... The conversation was easy to end when I asked why he didn't buy it. Everyone is a Porsche buying expert. I've been lucky enough to buy a few and keep more than one. each one so different. Its almost not even worth window shopping if you're not ready to buy. Any reasonable deal is gone fast. The market is shifting. Soon a 987.2 manual will be worth more than a 718.... you heard it here first

Agree 100% , i am on two lists for an allocation but don’t see a compelling reason to “trade up” my 981 for 718

black, black wheels, red top, classic interior with lwbs burmeister and pccb. Can't wait!

Visually the best spec

0Q, satin aluminum wheels, PCCB + black caliper, buckets, LED/PDLS, delete model designation, blacked out PORSCHE lettering, extended leather with chalk stitch and chalk belts. I think this is it!

Subjectively it’s not a bad car. It’s more powerful, and quicker. Styling is up to your opinion. Those that want the car probably made up minds long ago as the styling and details have been known for awhile. The rest is just white noise.

Nice build.

I think this is mine.

Love it man. As you can tell, I am really into the monochrome look...so happy black calipers are being offered!!!

Jazzed for all of those who are ordering and have been waiting and waiting for this car. Extra sweet for those that missed out on the opportunity to spec a 981 to their exact liking and have been on the sideline until the opportunity presented itself again.

I'm struck by how little the configurator for the 982 has changed since the 981. It looks and feels exactly the same and has so many of the same options with a few twists here and there. Déjà vu!

Spring will be here before you know it! Excited to see everyone's builds and welcome a whole new group of folks into Spyder Nation.

JAhmed

Very excited personally. Missed out on a 981 Spyder build and got a 981 CGTS back in 2016

have been waiting to build this one for a longgggggg time.
