Reintroduction
Just purchased Porsche #s 12 and 13 for me. #12 is a 992 base cabrio for my wife. #13 is my second 991. This one is a 2014 geyser gray 50th Anniversary with PCCB. Loving both cars. Traded our Range Rover and my GT4. I must say though, as cool as the GT4 is (and mine was highly optioned--for sale now at Austin Porsche), the 50th Anniversary is a beast in comparison.
I had been looking for a 50th Anniversary for months. Most seem to be in California. Magically one appeared locally and in the spec and color of my choice.

Lol. My first 991 was a .2 Targa 4S. I think I missed NA and a manual gearbox. The GT4 made me miss traction, lateral grip and interior volume. The plan is for my wife and I to daily drive these two and keep them long term. We sold our other 2 DDs. We gave up cable TV too in favor of streaming. It's a wonderful time (less COVID of course).

Like my former 981 Spyder the GT4 doesn’t have the traction of a 911 and while they feel great while cornering they tend to not grip as well around sharp transitions and initial turn in. I attribute this to less weight over the rear wheels and a more narrow rear wheel span. I love mid engine Porsches but there’s no denying the 991’s agility and composed upper end rush. My GT4 felt well underpowered to the 430 hp 50th as one would suspect. I actually preferred the balance of the 987 Spyder And R over the 981 Spyder and GT4 which both are easier to get out of shape.
