yes I liked how the heritage edition black calipers worked with this spec so I had my dealer install and just boxed up the original yellow ones. Considered painting a different color as well but really happy with decision especially with the silver wheels

My Roma just arrived in Verde Zeltweg which is a dual layer metallic paint.

In the shade it totally looks like Verde British or event Brewsters Green.

And then under light it shows the metallic.

I find that green is a really hard car to photograph too.

I have now joined the Speedster club. Car has only 200 miles. Any break in advice? Car is sweet. Love the gearbox. I have a 991.2 GT3 manual with upgraded Dundon exhaust, throttle body and airbox. Trying to figure out if I should live with stock exhaust as the cars character feels different.

Besides the seat inserts, has anyone done anything else to the interior?

I added the Dundon Ti exhaust and love it.

Default Anyone putting decent miles on their Speedster?

Hey guys - I'm new to this thread and just starting to snoop around for a nice 991 Speedster. I'm a driver, not a collector and there is the argument floating around that with the price of the Speedster it's more of an investment car. I disagree, but at the same time, is anyone here putting on some decent miles? I don't need another car that I'm constantly worried about road wear!

I'd be jumping from the PTS 718 Spyder in my avatar. I want something that's got a better sounding engine and a top that drops. I first saw the 991 Speedster at the NY Auto Show in April of 2019. Loved it.

Maybe this question has been asked before so please humor me. Tku.

I think the majority of us speedster owners on this forum are drivers. Granted it's most likely not our only car and it's a drop top. So those of us that live in an area with true winters, gives us a limited driving window. Mine will come out of storage in the Spring and enjoyed until early fall only to replicate process the following year. So realistically I see myself adding 2-3k miles a year. I hate the word investment as that brings speculators into the fold and ruins it for us drivers. But I don't plan on selling as I love the car that much, so values beyond what I paid for it are a moot topic.

Spring can’t come fast enough!!!

I tend to do trips with my cars cause the roads around me are awful, so I need to drive to great roads.
These do tend to add up the miles quickly, 3500-4000 miles annually.

Porsche’s are not like Ferrari’s- you can add miles and the discount will be relatively small. There will be very few high miles cars. Enthusiasts will fight to buy one that is discounted- therefore the discount will be small. I say drive- Porsche makes an incredibly solid, reliable and exciting car. One week in on mine- this is a very, very special drive.

TwoSpyders&OneSpeedster! Super nice catch. Tell us about your buying process? Dealer? Private?
I take it that you've had two Spyders in the past. Any initial comments on the ride, handling, engine, gearbox etc...

Thanks in advance,

ThreeSpyders
