Beautiful shot! I’m coming off a GT Silver Targa and have a GTS Coupe (both MT) whose build locks in January. I’m agaonizing on the color. Right now I’ve selected non-metallic black, but I love the beauty and convenience of GT Silver. I’ll be getting the glass moonroof as well. Do you have any shots from the front as well? I’m just a little anxious about how the black top would contrast with the rest of the car - again from the angle you took this shot, it looks spectacular!! Do you have any other shots you could post?

Guys thanks for all the help - will check them out!
So for me the 911 is really just a weekend outlet. Maybe I’ll take it to the track once a year, but usually I try to do an arrive and drive program like an AMG school. I’m really passionate about Porsche and have visited the factory and museum twice. So with the 2017 C4S PDK Coupe, I was coming from a 2014 991.1 C2S MT Coupe, both were ordered. I thought with the cars going FI, why not jump in with both feet and try PDK, get RWS and the 4S which had the bigger hips and is really a rear biased system. I also got Sport PASM. The car was so planted, so fast, that there wasn’t any drama - unless you were really, really on it. So I thought why don’t I get back to the basics and just focus on sun, sky and chilling out. Enter the Targa 4 GTS. My dealer had an MT and I found you could defeat rev-matching if you hero-toed fast enough. Sold!
So the Targa was just achingly beautiful and I received a ton of compliments on it, but as I’m driving it I’m missing SPASM - I know it’s insane. While you did feel the extra weight in the Targa, the additional power of the GTS more than made up for it and all you had to do was just adjust your driving style to accomidate for it, but after a few months driving it I realized a GTS Coupe MT would be perfect for me - wide hips, SPASM rear drive, and hopefully a little drama.
I think I’ve been searching for the perfect car, and in short, it doesn’t exist, but after being fortunate enough to experience so many great versions - including a 997.1 C2S Cab, I’m getting closer
.
i hope everyone enjoys the rest of the Holiday Season!
