He had a g50 911 safari in the same color. I’ll second the mention of him being a great guy. Because he totally is. And the car is dope!

Not sure, I'm speculating. No idea why a tuner would add Sport mode to a GT car that doesnt have it from factory. Thinking about is, and more likely is that he is mistaken and its really just the ARM button

And he nailed a lot of details on the Evora GT which I later experienced when I drove one, like how much of a throttle stab it required for rev matching.
He certainly is knowledgable as are a number of acquaintances I can handle for no more than a couple minutes.

Now I wonder what Deman Motorsports can do with my GT4RS?🫣
Folks talk about gutting there OAPs as a big genitalia modification…

This car, in this spec, with this build, fresh out the box is a MF mic drop.

click, click, click...$$$ I don't think he's color blind at all. Good for him though. Maximum outrage, check. Me included actually because the the car is hideous.

Well he's mentioned it multiple times, years before buying the Cassis 911, so probably "long con". Odd how factory color, made readily available for this given model by said factory, is "controversial". But I can see how many feel Matt is trying to pull an Alex Choi.

I thought CARB really cracked down on these types of changes.
You don't have to smog a car here for the first 5 years of ownership (for the original owner). After 5 years, the fun (pain?) begins.

Can't argue about taste. But it seemed to me a heck of a weird idea to paint the yellow PCCBs red instead of black while they were at it. Going for a different shade of red will be an even bigger eyesore. Black is the answer. BLLLAAAACCCKKK.

More annoying to watch was the sport mode talk (doesn't exist on a Spyder, period) and "makes more power at the wheels than a GT3 at the crank!". Even JAhmed's does not and he has a race exhaust... stock rear box holds back quite a bit of power in my testing even on the stock 4.0 block. Obviously the headline power figure in the title is pure magic thinking too, but hey.

Car must drive amazing regardless. They need a better tuner though, an outfit like M Engineering wouldn't have these weird issues and require octane booster if you don't want to.

Maybe he’s referencing 493 BHP in a 991.2 GT3 vs the 495 WHP my car made
