Great looking car man! Congrats!

​​​​Thanks for the translucent tape tip. Hate to keep repeating this....after driving the '15 gt3, I knew that I had to do something about the exhaust. Went w SpeedTech and would do over and over again. It really puts smiles on my face when going WOT in 1st and 2nd. And I have the manual base model!

I’d like to. Just need to figure out where and when!

I’m happy that I haven’t felt it yet. Ignorance is bliss.

I found it helped me to read other people’s impressions of their 991.2. It made the wait a bit more bearable. I will be very interested to read other 991.2 GTS reviews including yours when it is finally in your hands.

Enjoy in good health.
I don’t disagree. My daughter and I initially decided to just go with ‘911’ but then changed it back. Now that I have the car, the choice has much less meaning. I find that those things that I was trying to determine carefully during the build phase are less relevant now that I actually am driving the car.

Sorry for augmenting the anxiety level. I know how difficult it is to sit still the closer you get to the date. I think it’s reallg helpful to get owners’ perspectives. While there is no doubt that we owners are biased, I still love to hear what they have to say as I can quite often strip the bias out of the review. I find that much more difficult with auto journalists.

I kept the lettering but painted it

Thanks KenTO. I used to write investment opinions for a living. I hate writing now though - unless it’s about cars.
