Ha. Just posted a thread on the weight gain. Nice to see their stats on this site match up. Too bad the new car is headed in the wrong direction on weight.

That P O R S C H E spelled out on the rear looks so idiotic.

My car is 3020 with CS roll bar, seat belts, muffler side delete, Lithium battery, BBS and no fuel.
I wonder how easy these side mufflers and rear axle steering are removed, CUP car bypass pipes wont fit ;-)
What would it take to make the new porker 3020? Lets see what the RS will be, not all is lost yet.

That is my biggest beef (aside from the RW steering, yawn...). The Panamera-style "font" for the "Porsche" DOES NOT FIT the car. It looks so out of place even on a regular 991. Might have to buy a few "glue-on" 997 badges, don't we?

Geez, here we go again with Porsche lettering on the rear deck. This was beaten to death when the 991 first came out. At least come up with an original complaint. Guess none of you guys ever owned old time Porsches or hated the back ends if you did......

Already found the answer. Dental floss, hair dryer, citrus solvent to clean it off and 15 minutes of your time and you end up with this....(PS also has some gloss white vinyl applied over those ugly red rear reflectors...)

Now that looks much better as a zero cost modification eh!

Its quite remarkable what 15 minutes labour plus a bit of vinyl or a quick trip to the spray shop to "neutralize" those ugly rear reflectors will achieve!

What's the curb weight once you remove the PORSCHE lettering?

i debadge on every car i own. gt3, scirocco, gti, pepper and most recenty the new porsche LWB 6 wheeler on my avatar.

dental floss is too slow.
get a hair dryer, max heat, blow on decal or lettering.
then drip the HOT decal with tip of your fingers and just PULL...
it works on side moding as well.

floss? that's for wimpy chic fear of breaking her french tips.
