Default Are There Any Blue Manual 991s Out There

Yeah I have this blue thing going on.

My then new 2016 loaded up 981S was lost to flooding here during Harvey. So I started casting about for a 911 ( 997 or a 991 or an S ) with a manual transmission and a sport chrono. As of yet none have shown up. Im starting to wonder if its just me? I really got my hands full down here and don't want to drop 130 on a new T. Eeeek.

I have seen a few in other colors and but nothing matched up. There is at least one in blue here but no sport chrono. For me it probably isn't that big of deal but I might let Daughter One learn a bit about driving them too - so the rev match would be desirable.

If y'all see one of these unicorns please give the TR here a Texas Yell Out. I'm going to put this over on the 997 side too.

Default 991s blue

Sorry you were affected by Harvey, I hope you find a car soon.
Is my car a unicorn? 991.1S sapphire blue, manual sport chrono, sport suspension, sun roof delete, sport steering wheel and aluminum pedals, that's it..

good luck with your search, I'll chime in if I see one.

Sorry you were impacted by the storm. Hope you get back into something blue soon.

My .1 GTS Targa in Sapphire Blue while it was getting PPF in Stuttgart.

TR sorry you got hit by Harvey. I didn't, but it was close and knew plenty of people who were.

When I found my car, I wanted S, Manual, SC, PSE, Cab and full leather not in Luxor Beige. Pretty tight list. I searched the whole country for 6-9 months and found my car in North Carolina. I also wanted blue but had to settle on black. You may need to do the same. Try using Porsche's own website. Good luck. I'll keep an eye out.

PS, hope to see you at one of the LSR PCA events.

Edit, there are 27 Blue 991's with Manual on the Porsche Approved website. Base, S, GTS, Cab. May not find one that fits your requirements.

Meh. So teach her how to rev match. Sport Chrono and 7MT is a bit pointless IMO.

I think there is value with sport chrono and MT on the 991.1S.. Gives you dynamic engine mounts, more aggressive throttle maping, even traction control lets you slide the car more.
Rev matching is only on when you select sport +, if you turn off traction control gets disabled.

I was looking for S first then a base. The GT cars are too much right now. I have poked around on the Porsche site finder too. I haven't run any up but Ill keep looking. Thanks.
