Well hell guess that was a stupid question!!! Love the 100% positive response. Made that decision pretty damn easy.
Now to really start looking for one. I do normally drive the hell out of my cars as that is what I buy them for. Just was a little unsure about this.
Thanks.....
Here are two additional reasons to drive your GTS, first these cars are over engineered. There are not too many cars that can driven on the track 10-15 times per year for years and still be a DD. Second, if you scan the resale market, you will see that higher mileage cars do take a bit of hit but nothing like time itself. For example, a four year old 911 with 50k, will not sell for that much more than a 4 year old with 70k.
I think there are a lot of us DD the .2's. I am on track for over 15K miles this year. Had a wonderful tour this weekend with the wife - over 600 miles in three days. Car was perfect.
Having a nice, fun car makes the trip more enjoyable. PPF will handle the bugs
This.. I forgot to add that its only a GTS.. Not a Carrera T or an Enzo.
I’ve had my Carrera T from new in April last year. Did over 15k miles in the first 12 months. It’s my only car and wears winter tyres in the colder months.
I don’t find it too loud on the motorway, despite the reduced sound-deadening.
New springs (KW) are shorter & stiffer.
Still makes a perfect daily driver for me.
More modifications in July to up the power to 480hp.
I DD my Carrera T and it's my only car. Driving the T is definitely the best part of my work day, and I love winding it up on b-roads on the weekends. No regrets!

@Wing Commander Over 11k miles in 8 months myself. I'm with you mate!
I have a 16" 991.1 GTS, SPASM, with all the goodies. It's the most enjoyable sports car 'Ive ever owned. Aerocup kit front lip went on last week, Aerocup kit rear wing goes on next week. I run Weissgold HRE RC100's during the summer, the stock satin black Turbo's in the winter. This car turns heads all day, every day. Fun AF problem to live with.
I bought it well, and I DD drive it. We have already put 10k miles on it since purchasing it in December, and I have zero regrets. I better understand the car today, and have come to fully appreciate what it really is after all the seat time. Perfection...
Philosophically, I invest in multi-family real estate and drive my 911 to enjoy my life, and the experiences it gives me. Cars your own to actually drive, invariably depreciate.
lastly, I also think storing a GT3/GT2 RS to rub with a diaper every week end, but don't actually drive is called masturbation / speculation. Plenty of guys will lose their shirts on the that program if they suddenly have to sell, - and that happens to the best of us.

Good stuff! These cars were designed and built to be driven, by enthusiasts!

Those HRE’s look terrific! Wanted to brighten up my GTS from the stock black satin centerlock wheels. What finish did you choose for your HRE’s?

Thank you. They were painted Weissgold #539, it’s a Porsche color used in the 80’s and on the GT2 RS Weissach wheel package. Totally changed the look of the car, with the Aerocup Kit, I’ve built a little nod to the GT2 RS, but a DD. Paint, don’t powder, then clear coat.
I just bought a winter wheel set for my C2S. Pirelli Sottzeros and cup 4 wheels. I am going to drive it all through the winter. Even winters in New Hampshire the roads are snow free 95% of the time. I was sick of not driving the car for six months out of the year. There’s no better feeling than finishing up work and jumping into a 911 for the drive home. It’s my daily rain or shine. I’m shopping around for ski rack and bike rack right now.
