Stunning Singer. What engine did you chose? Please keep the photos coming...

 

4.0L

 

Just needed to take the time to say thank you for having tremendous taste and speccing the car how it should be.

4.0
Ceramic Brakes
and a beautiful colour.

No doubt you will enjoy this car for many years to come! Congrats

 

Going to be beautiful. Awesome spec.

 

That's going to be a beautiful car when it's done.

After 50 years of 911 restoration and modification, Singer has done the impossible and found a niche that no one else had thought of. And like a lot of great innovations, you see it and you wonder how it is that no one thought of it sooner.

I don't know if much was left on the table in terms of what driving the 911R is like. But in case anyone wants to read more, here's a comparison I wrote up for flatsixes.com about the differences between the 911R and the 991 GT3 RS.

(I'm sure it will happen sooner or later, but I really want to drive a Singer at Willow Springs.)

 

Thanks for your perspective and insights into the downforce and front end grip on these cars. I enjoyed reading your article. Not entirely surprising to hear you praise pdk on track. But nice to hear you confirm that mt is the way to go for driving pleasure elsewhere (apart from stop and go traffic no doubt). Tough choice!!

 

Thanks

 

Thank you. i looked at it again, and it sounded like I didn't like the 6-speed on the track. That's not the case. But the PDK is so effortless that you get a little spoiled. Especially while you're learning a new track, you simply don't have to think about anything more than what gear you want to be in.

But it does add weight. And it takes away a small piece of the overall driving experience.

 

Really enjoyed reading your article - thanks for posting the link. I really do hope they offer the manual as an option for the next round, for both cars. I honestly still don't know which I would choose if they do. And you still managed to deflect at the end of the article wrt which you would choose..Fess up!

 

Jack, great read and I enjoyed the videos. I was fortunate enough to drive with Pat Long when I got my GT2RS, very special experience.

 

I thought the same way! I am happy for you, stunning spec! I want to buy Singer some day and it will for sure be 4.0L. Congrats once again!

 

Is there any new 911R content to discuss?

 

How about that my local dealer told me they're getting 12 or 13 of them!! All their 918 customers, and maybe one more. Seems like a lot, but they sell a lot of cars

 

What dealer?

 

I would be interested to know as well. I wonder which dealer sold the highest number of 918s in the country?
