Agree, The CF is much better but 1420.00 is a bit pricey.......

not sure if everyone has seen this already but didn't see it on the amazing consolidated summary page from OP so thought I'd drop it here.

some non-Porsche promotional .2 engine noises...not sure what the context of this video is but nice to hear the engine.

The famous quite here. What is it? "Only add cars"??
Haha I'm not sure yet. Thinking to get one if no mark up.

Wow thanks hadn't seen it up to now. Should be lots of new videos out just about daily now. Last few seconds of that video are the best, the money shot!

Agreed!! I'm not sure how this outlet managed to get hold of the car when it doesn't seem like any other journalist or publication got a chance to hear the engine...most articles and videos around the launch (including the awesome drive tribe video) all talk about how they can't wait to hear the engine.

A little old school refresher with Harris when he got the 991.1 GT3. Exciting driving and 9K music.


"How are they going to make it reliable to 9K over 100K miles I don't know?"

I am sure there's going to be lots of talk about the Gen 1 engine issues for all the drive reviews in April...will make awesome reading, especially for the European PDK deliveries coming in June.

^^^ I think the reviewers will leave that subject to rest. They could make an hour video about that.

No need to ruffle any feathers with the mothership who wouldn't approve.

Makes a lot of sense to me but apparently not Jimmy.

I like the red stripe. All would depend on car color too and choice of brakes.

Gives the wheel nice definition to the tire. Would like options of silver and yellow (match PCCB's) stripes too.
