What a stunning 981. Congratulations. I love it. Striking. Actually didn't even notice the seat stitiching not matching the dash. How long did the Exlusive process take?

I ordered the car in late October and it was built in mid February. Probably a 8-10 week delay due to paint to sample.

While the ride if firm, it's not uncomfortably so. If you drive daily on lots of bad roads it might get old, but for average roads it's fine. Handling wise it's amazing! The car just corners flat. I would order it again without question.

the small gap between the wheels and body is terrific

the one criticism I have of my dearly departed 981S with 19" wheels and standard suspension was that on spirited corners, it felt a touch soft and flabby .. I even managed to scrape the front winglets (in front of the front wheels) a few times.

Imagine how good a 991 GT3 would look in that color.
