I used to feel this exact same way until I got a car with both. I don't know what swayed me to get a car with those items but now that I have it, I can truthfully say I really enjoy them.

I can see the appeal. looking at an image is one thing, sitting in the cockpit is another. 991 is pretty austere, if you want it to feel different from inside the cockpit you're going to need some elements that really pop.

Believe that report indicated both overrev stages hit and the timing of the overrev, e.g., stage 2 at x or y hours or minutes of operation.

Is that the case with all overrev reports? Not sure.

Maybe something to consider as the cars get up there in age, owners, many have some stage 1, 2, or 3. When the overrev occurred would be of interest to me as a buyer. Was the stage 2 or 3 hit 10 or 10,000 miles ago? If the latter, apparently not much damage done.
the report will indicate the # of ignitions and time spent in each rev range and the max engine rpm ever and how long ago that was. for 991.2 gt3's there are 6 of them. range 4 starts at 9400 rpm. if there is a over rev in range 4 or above AND it has not been 200 hours of engine operation since, porsche cannot certify the car. the summer yellow car in houston as great as the color was, did not meet that criteria and had been tracked by po therefore i passed

Looks like you own a 3RS… so for a track or truly sport dedicated car, may be.
But for a touring, I would err more on the side of classy/boring.

Again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and am not telling anyone what they should like. Just stating that as I have to consider a used GT3 given the current supply/market conditions, it is not always easy to find a decent spec out there.

The search continues…

I would think it’s fairly easy to source a new tach and paint the trim pieces black.

It is just baffling to me why someone would order such an odd and expensive (nearly $20K!) customization like the bizarre interior on this one... And then not even drive the car before selling it?

I am honestly surprised that Porsche AG even approved such an oddball configuration…

it’s a 992, that may partly explain it.

Sorry, for both the silver and red 992 tourings, I cannot get over the painted front fascia- the winged version looks so much better. Thought it would grow on me, but so far its a no go...
