Try reverse, Rich, the gear ratios are better.

The guy I bought mine from did that too. Looks pretty cool in my opinion.

Join PCA and find a local Porsche PCA group. Our chapter, SE Florida has Porsche and Pancakes, Picnics and Driving Events. A great way to put miles on your car and meet new friends.
Since you spend time in Georgia, try the Porsche Experience in Atlanta. A great way to see what your car can really do and help make you a better driver as well.
The clear front markers would look great on your beautiful car car and to help keep your car beautiful, consider putting a clear protective film over the front end.
Many happy miles!
many thanks, and appreciate the advice!

Finishing faster is a terrible condition, seek help.

I wish local law enforcement shared your sentiments

Thanks for being a good sport, I'm still laughing while reading through 12 pages of clever jabs.

Everyone's having some fun at Richris1's expense and that's to be expected in the rather chaotic online world, even here at RL.

What strikes me, though, is that this may be the most pure purchase I've seen here on RL. He bought himself a car he loved and then started asking about it. None of the "1st word" concerns people express here while agonizing over whether to get the floor net or whatever or which options will net the best resale, what color shade of gray is most unique, prestigious or anything else.

He just bought himself a damn car, that he wanted, for his own reasons! Way to go!

Good point!
As a fellow Sarasota-guy, I'd also suggest that this is the reason why the market for 911's is so high (almost inflated) in this county.
Just my humble opinion after 25 years...

👍 exactly what I did! I love 911’s, always have since I was a kid. Had the means , the opportunity, and bought a car that I loved. Was really that simple
