That engine alone is an upgrade by itself, would not mind moving back to a hardtop for that engine. But still has to be a 6 speed, therefore 0 interest in a GT4 RS even if no ADM.

I got my '21 Spyder w/ PCCB's, LWBS, PDK w/ 77 miles delivered today to accompany my '21 CGTS4.0.
Just ordered Soul OAP's w/ JetHot coating for the Spyder just like I put on my Cayman.



Obviously I drank the KoolAid!

Nice additions, congratulations! So what is the story behind a 2021 Spyder with only 77 miles... did you find this one in a barn?

I was told that the guy who ordered the car drove it home last year to join his large car collection. Then his wife asked for a divorce. So he drove it back to the dealership-hence the 77 miles.

Wow! But hey, it is always interesting to have a great back story for your Spyder!

Collecting has always been a mystery to me, I collected stamps as a kid, scrapes and bruises along the way too but decided if I wasn't using it use it I didn't need it...

I bought these AWE airfoils before I got the car, but wanted to drive it for a bit before installing to see a before/after effect. I just installed them (took 3 minutes per side, which includes the time it took to walk back to the work bench for the part that I left there ). It certainly looks good, OEM, and is easily reversible. When it stops raining, I'll try them out to see if it helps the buffeting. Without them, one MUST have both windows open, at least partially, otherwise it's unbearable.

BEFORE



AFTER



BOTH



ENJOY BLOW POP

Still a top PDK mod - the leather shift boot with matching deviated stitching. Add the carbon fiber shift **** to complement the deck trim, all good.

You can get boots on eBay, and there is a place there in the UK that makes custom ones for about $100.

Here's the direct link to Suncoast for the upgraded stitching of the leather boot. I'm sure there are other options out there, note that this doesn't upgrade the lever or **** itself.
