Not at all man, it’s all about what you love and enjoy. High class problems, we’re all blessed.

Default Old school

Love my R for the feel and the looks but also and it is hard to explain : it does drive like an old school 911 whereas the GT3T is… now. The one car I will keep and some years later even more a unicorn in today’s world.

And now we are just waiting for the comparo test 991 R vs 992 ST!! I have a feeling the 992 ST will (also) be sensational!

Anyone with an R going to get the new ST?

Love it!
Waiting for you to pull the trigger first on an engine + gearbox swap from the 911R, the Targa R :-D (I mean how hard can it be?)

Also, how many front lips have you replaced already? I mean your Targa is super low and with this GT3 bumper... My GTS front lip scraps too often with standard height :-(

Believe it or not none so far. However, the GT2RS front sits way lower and scrapes everywhere. Someday I'll be a big boy and 911R it everywhere so I don't have to scrape like a peasant

Cool that you did not scrape, that is incredible! Also very well done on the wheels, I still had in mind the GT3 wheels on your Targa :-)

Super cool black GT2RS, very nice foldable buckets as well!

Thanks. I still have the gt3 rears/gt3rs wheels for the targa. Just figured I would switch it up for a bit

Well, if you put 3000 miles per 7 years on each of the 28 cars in your stable, it's not that bad! :-)
