Dan, very nice ... Enjoyed the pics. I'm really liking the lime gold metallic guys. Anyone else feeling it or is it just me ?

Great photos! First time the gold one actually looked good. I like every angle of the 991. Thank you for sharing.

I'm so ambivalent about this car.
No one can say it's not beautiful yet there are things about it I'm not wild about. The skinny tail lights and the front head lights and the width of the front.....just appears a bit too wide and the headlights seem....I don't know ....too upright.
Still good looking just not love at first sight for me like the 997 was. Waiting for it to grow on me has never worked ...with cars or women!

Great shots though - almost like being there!

Funny how we both post positive comments on the lime gold. It looks pretty good in direct sunlight in these photos, but when I saw in person on a cloudy day it just did not look good.

Great pictures. Thank you for these.
I like it, but I'm not drooling over it. I will say that the rear looks so much better with the "911 Carrera S" script omitted. And I'd definitely go 19s.

As always with Porsche, I somewhat question their design changes initially, but in time learn to appreciate what they are doing to these cars.
I also heard that Porsche is doing great things with the PSE on these 991 cars--better than the PSE on the 997.2 cars. We got a taste of it this morning when one of the guys driving the Ruby Red car gave us a little thrill going by!

There does not appear to be any other colors other than what I have shown so far. Here's one more shot from inside one of their tents, and a close up of the Lime Gold door handle in shade.

Dan. Great pictures! I'm actually going to be there at Fess Parkers this week. Do you know if they will still be there? I may have to drive my 997- finally get to park next to a new one and take some pictures for the group.
