That is one gigantic ***! And I love it!
Nice looking car.

Yes but I also used a hair dryer and got the rear very warm, to get the adhesive very soft otherwise floss will keep tearing. It's a slow process (and my floss tore several times anyway), as I did 2-3 letters at a time to maintain temperature. Then I used goof off (didn't hurt the paint but this is my experience not a recommendation) to remove the stubborn rubber/glue residue. After that, you can still see a ghost of the old emblem, so a fine compound got that back to pristine condition.

Yep, about the only thing a fat *** is acceptable on.

Very nice Sam! Looking forward to Thursday.

PS-991TurboS- 3M adhesive remover works good also.

I will second 3M adhesive remover.

Thank you for the information. Porsche does put a book on the rear of the car. You got one badass ride there. I may do the same thing with the rear lettering. But, I also have the "911 Turbo S" in black on the right/left doors. No choice as this is a launch car, but I saw it on another launch car at my P Dealership as it actually looks pretty nice. Maybe a black "S" in matching script as the doors for my car on the back? I'll copy you. We'll see. I'll live with the book on the back for a while and see how I feel.

My car was delivered to the port of Brunswick, Georgia 11/6, and as of Friday was still in ""Inspection Status" at the port, so I could have it maybe Tuesday or Wednesday this week, my best guess.

I bet the wait is a killer, excited for you. I too had Turbo S on the sides but removed it, too flashy for my taste. Speaking of books, my previous car was worse : PORSCHE 911 Carrera 4 S. Took it all off and put C4S in red.

Sam, she is gorgeous, congrats.

I assume a heat gun or hair dryer to remove the side stickers?

I also thought about maybe a "991" designation on the back. Could easily make one out of a couple 911 sets.

Got word on my car. The port is really backed up with cars in PDI per my salesman. Porsche estimates my car will get to the dealership by 11/15. Hopefully, that will translate into some nice fall driving next weekend. I am sure to those doing PDI it is just another car, hehehe!

I had the dealer remove the side decals, took them a minute. I also thought about TTS but figured most people, including Porsche drivers, would not get it. Was gonna use the capital T from the GTS, from two sets. Another thought. 11/15 sounds perfect.

What are your thoughts on the Sport Chrono??

4k option and seems like it may be overkill on a turbo?

carcommander

My dealer says you want sport chrono for resale.

amdave

I'm never selling mine if I get it. Truly a dream car. Maybe I can gift it to my son when he turns 18 in 15 yrs! Lol

It's standard on the S and if I was ordering a "plain" Turbo, I would get it. Launch control and faster shifts alone (together they shave 0.2 secs to 60) make a big difference. If you track the car, it adds dynamic engine mounts which stabilize the car in corners. The Sport Plus button makes a big difference in shift speed and in sound. More torque is always welcome. A slightly more than 2% increase in price, that enhances the car's performance is very much worth it, in my opinion. Not that you want to buy the car for the next buyer but knowing it helps resale is nice too. If you do not plan on tracking the car, it would be an overkill because you are unlikely to notice any of its performance enhancements on the street..

Hi Sam,

After reading your message I think I just made a deal on your 13 C4S. Was it at Plano Porsche, red C4S on back. Yellow gauges, burmeister, pdk, etc, with fire ext and had some strange scratches on the roof.

I did the the deal with Owen and he said the previous owner was track addict and physician also.

If its you, I sent you a PM.

Congrats on the Turbo S!

SamFromTX

Yup! PM sent
