Very nice OP! Somehow I pictured you being a little older though... nice to be able to pull off a GTS at your age.
The 4 part will be very nice with that awesome power you have on tap there.

I haven’t driven a 991.2, but I have put 10k on my NA 991.1 GTS since December. The exhaust sound in Sport is so addictive, I all but stopped driving my S63, and SL55, - which both sound wonderful. It’s a hell of a daily driver, I imagine it would be tough to lose the pure NA sound and go Turbo, no matter how subtle the differences are.

Gorgeous car! Great choice.

Not sure if you’ve noticed but the lettering on your bumper isn’t spaced correctly and is not quite centered.



I’d try to take it to the dealer or porsche certified body shop to get it reapplied using the factory template. Should be a quick fix.

Niiiice! You have got to be the youngest 911 owner on the planet. And I thought I was special when I started driving at 12.

You know, with all the black bits back there, I never really noticed before. Thank you!

Strange, I look a bit taller here than in person.

I hear ya. I drove an AMG GT recently which is cited to be one of the best sounding turbo engines, and to me the sound didn't compare to my Sharkwerks 3.4. Not even close to me. These N/A flat sixes truly have an addictive sound that just begs you to let them sing. Love it. I can imagine the GTS just makes it all the better. Whenever I hear .1 GTS's on the highway it makes me feel like I'm on a race track. The sound is that defined, unique, tuned, racy and just excellent. Enjoy.

Vansmac - epic build for an epic car. Every mile puts a smile on your face, I am sure, as it does in mine. I am convinced that the engine sounds better and performs better as it matures, like a fine wine. Or maybe I am just crazy. Probably the latter. And as usual, my brother from another NA mother, K-A is spot-on in his remarks.

Thank you, I'm on IG as vansmac, if you're interested. Always looking to connect with other GTS'ers. Car is an absolute blast to own and drive, and I definitely swallowed the hook.

when the flaps open up around 3k and the sound of that 3.8 flat six starts to howl, it's more like a musical instrument. i don't know about all the other stuff (better steering? maybe, more torque? just need to know how to use an NA engine) but i know i will miss that sound. it's like a symphony

Yeah, it’s a sweet symphony every day I drive it. Which coincidently, is everyday. I understand the 991.2 is a superior 911, but the only 991 I think I may enjoy more is a GT3, and that’s a whole ‘nother matter entirely.

Love my NA GTS, fun AF to dd. Pulled 1.1g’s coming down highway 9, lived to tell the tale. Clearly the car is a better driver than I am....
