Congrats on the purchase. Curious on your experience with the shifter. I love the placement of the grip, but I’ve been told but buy the rothsport shifter and not this one. But not a lot of context as to “why”.

Thanks everyone. I’ve always loved the 964 since I was a youngin. Owned a few exotics and I had planned on getting a 991.2, and thought about the Mission E( if it looked exactly like the concept). Talked to a good friend of mine and found a great deal on this car. Took her for a short spin last night and I’m still smiling.

its going to take some getting use to. It is a very short throw. I was looking at this before I was offered the car.

Good eye. Yes it’s Marks old car. Met him back in 2014 in Singapore at the SingaporeF1. Good friend of mine. A mutual friend bought it, situation changed, and he decided to let me purchase it. Glad I can purchase the car and keep it in the family. It’s in great shape and the mods list is stellar.

if you are was at sleepers I assume you are in orange county? Any chance you'd want to let me put my hands on your shifter? :P I live 10 mins from their shop. I know its high and short throw. It reminds me of a poor man's sequential like some of the race cars I used to drive.
