I will go as far as to state that you would have to pay me money to be seen inside that car. Its the kind of car you just look at to appreciate the engineering but way too much for what most of us do with these cars. The wing looks disproportionately large. The front scoops dont really fit in to the overall design. The wheel arches that are exposed are just disaster waiting to happen. You drive this car in a highway and in 20-25 miles you will have sizeable chips on your door or rear bumper. PPF will protect the paint yes, but you as the owner will just stare at the PPF marks now. The chips still looks really poor be it on the paint vs ppf.

I think 991.2 RS is the best balance of analog, old school 911, race car, aggressive but understated and classy look. I dont like the 992 GT3 one bit. If I had one, I would sell it and get another 991 GT3.

When a car goes back into a Porsche dealer inventory they have to re-issue the CPO and 2 years starts over. So why is yours 1.5

Not sure how much brake pressure we're talking.

I think the 991.2 3RS has the same PCCB as my 991.2 TTS, and the brakes in the TTS feel strong and sublime.

Don’t congratulate me yet, need to resolve this brake issue in order for me to buy it. Pads aren’t a big deal, but if the rotors are toast, that’s an expensive fix.

in which case you inherit the warranty from the seller.
doesn’t apply to you tho
