Default New owner of a 991.1 S

Hey all, was looking for the right car for a while (including in the hot for sale threads), finally took delivery (bought from shift sf, relatively painless transaction), is a silver C2S, sport chrono, pdk, sunroof delete (this was the only sticking pt for me hehe). Used to be active on the bmw forums before. Rennlist seems to be a great place as well! Planning to do 3-4 track days in the first year (another baby on the way this year ). Its pretty much a toy for me because I take the train to work, but thus far loving it!

Congrats on your new 991.1 C2S!

Sounds like a nice spec. Care to share some pics?

Very smart. Reminds me of my previous 911, a 991.1 C2 in Platinum Silver. And you appear to have a sensible family car too.

That's the wife's car, its pretty fast for its heft, she got the t8 version for the carpool stickers and the tax credits . I was cross shopping the 991.1 GT3 as well, but my boy loves to ride in my cars so until he can be safe in the front, its gonna be on hold.

Nice. I do like the XC90.

I'd love a 991 GT3, but even the older ones are still really pricey over here in the UK.

I should get my new Carrera T within the next 3-4 weeks though.

Excellent choice! here the .1 gt3s are just slightly more for the higher mileage ones, than the gts .1s (which I was also considering - but they are so rare in the local market, I would have to fly out to test drive one. So seemed logical to just save some money and go for a cheaper s ).

The cheapest GT3 991.1 that I could find in the U.K. recently was about £110k = approx $152k

I thought Volvo's were tuner cars?
