Smile Waiting for my first Porsche to arrive :) 991.2 C2 GTS

Bought my first Porsche 2019 C2 GTS in GT Silver.

Super pumped for it to arrive, coming cross country.

Was a bit of an impulse purchase, but doesn't change the fact that I am looking forward to taking possession.

Already planning to order the Blackmill anti buffeting kit thanks to a helpful post here

You will love it. Great color choice. Classic. GTS is the sweet spot isn’t hr range. Just my opinion. The car pulls and pulls and pulls. PDK or manual?

Congrats. I got a 2019 GTS, back in February. Love it. And GT Silver is, of course, the best color.

Is there a spec sheet for your car you could point us to?

I'm on the same boat as you. Bought mine last week and am impatiently waiting for it to arrive by Saturday. Only difference is mine is JBM. Already looking for exhaust upgrade and am undecided between sport exhaust or cat bypass. Also considering a tune but will have to find out how tune friendly my dealer is. Good luck and enjoy!

Appreciate the kind words. I think my wife is more excited than I am.


PDK.

Already have other cars that are manual transmission. But will be nice to drive a sorted car. Some of my other cars are a heavily modified 2004 Subaru STi and. 1993 RX7 with GT35 single turbo. We also drive a Jeep Wrangler and an Mercedes E63s.

The Subaru will be my winter beater and very excited to drive a quiet car that will ride smoothly.

Will post a build sheet layer today.

Car is pretty basic with glass sunroof. No RAS, FAL, PCCB.

Debating modifying the GTS but may wait.

Nice range of cars! I've played with modded STI and FDs myself. You're probably familiar with Killer B Motorsport. Check out Vektor Performance.

Yes, have Killer B pick up / baffle for the Subaru Love driving my Subaru, and prefer it to the E63s. Sounds crazy, but it handles and drives like a dream. A large part of it is the KW V3 coilovers, and pretty much throwing the whole Whiteline catalogue at it.

The FD is a project been put on the back burner, parked at a friend's place. Became too loud, too rough and not a great daily driver. Will eventually get back to it and start enjoying it again. Debating on turning it into a pure track car, versus making it a daily driver. Lack of catalytic convertors makes it annoying, and no way I would consider letting a valet park it at dinner. haha

Thanks for pointing out Vektor Performance, beautiful work.

Couldn’t be happier with my ‘19 GTS. Good luck with the wait.

Picked up the car last evening! Absolutely love it!

Didn't take any pictures, but will post some when the weather clears up.

First Porsche, and I wish I bought one a decade ago.
