Default Bought Carrera S coupe

I sold my '11 GT3RS a month ago and just bought a black/black Carrera S.
PDK and all. As a hedge I am keeping my 07 turbo. :-) I am planning on using it as one of my daily drivers. Should be fun. It's being delivered this morning. I will post a picture later. Cars are a disease.

Default Got Mine.

Agate Gray.
Luxor

All the Chassis/Handling Options

Headed to Homestead on 3/10 and Sebring 3/31. Last P-car was a 6 speed Spyder fortified for track duty. This ride is for around town and tracking until GT3 comes along.

There's a 991 listed on ebay from a dealer in California. Wonder how long it will take him to sell it? I had assumed that all of the cars arriving in the first couple of months would already be spoken for.

Yes no sport exhaust for sport plus setting. Both of which are nice.

It would be great to see more pics of Agate Gray, especially against your other cars or other Porsches for color reference (if the opportunity presents, please.)

This is looking good:

You are replacing a GT3RS with a 991S!!! Please, post as much detail as you can of your thoughts, once you spend some time with the 991. The GT3RS is one of my all-time favourite cars. Cheers.

Looks SO much better without the headlight washer nipples.

And I think this is the first one I have seen with the 'sport package' and active front aero?

I would like to see more photos as well...

Default Another photo

Herei is another shot. It is actually a bit more "earthy" in tone than appears here.

Earthy = brown?

Another pic elsewhere of Agate Gray cabin trim is entirely brown.

That pic looks entirely gray (no brown or blue or other tints that I can see ... and the other colors of greens, reds and palm trunks, etc. all look pretty realistic.) I guess I'll have to wait and see one locally and meanwhile resign myself to the ignominy ... of a white one.

The Agate is exterior only. Interior is luxor. There is bit of brown in Agate that is better seen when parked next to another gray car.

White balance is off in that photo. Too much blue.
