Default Took delivery of 991 with Sport PASM/-20

I just took delivery of my 1st Porsche after many years of dreaming about owning a P-car.

Here's my spec:

991 C2S
Platinum Silver
Black full leather
Sport seats plus
PASM Sport Suspension
PDK
Sport Chrono
Sport Design steering wheel
Sunroof
Voice control
Burmester package
Porsche crest on headrests

I haven't seen too many photos of the -20 991 online, so I thought I'd post some showing the lower chassis, revised front lip, and increased rear spoiler deployment angle.

I was a little hesitant about getting the S-PASM, fearing that the ride with 20" wheels would be too harsh, especially since I didn't go with PDCC. I'm happy to report that the ride in normal mode is comfortably sporty, not too different than the 330i BMW I've been driving. Even in Sport mode, the ride is fine for me for everyday driving. Sport plus of course is much firmer and probably will be used
only once in a while or if I ever track the car. My other concern was front lip scraping, since my driveway has a slight angle when it meets the street. As you can see in the pics, the front lip still has a good amount of clearance and I have not had any scraping going up or down my driveway. Anyway, I highly recommend S-PASM to anyone out there who may be on the fence about this option.

As I've never owned a 911 before, I can't make any comparisons to the 997, etc. What I can say is that I am extremely pleased with the car and that it has exceeded my expectations in every area (exterior and interior appearance, performance, build quality, etc.) Trying to obey the break-in period at least for a little while, so haven't done any hard driving- I'm really looking forward to seeing what this car can really do.

Great looking car! Thx for posting the -20 / extended spoiler pics. Have a GT Silver/Black with the -20 on order and these pics are very exciting.

How did you get rid of the headlight washers? I was told not possible. Good call for sure, looks great w/o them.

My 997.2 has SPASM but no extended front spoiler; a nice addition on the 991. The 20mm lower chassis gives the car a very purposeful look. Congrats on your beautiful new ride!

Congrats! What made you choose silver? I'm asking because I'm thinking about either silver or basalt black. Silver because my 997 is silver and it would be a "stealth" purchase. BB looks like an interesting departure, but I'm worried about the upkeep. Cheers.

I was on the Basalt / Silver fence for a while, too. Ultimately, I went silver because I thought some of the new design tweaks show better on a contrasting color -- the more aggressive air intakes, etc.

I didn't actively delete the headlight washers- they must not be standard. According to the US configurator, they're part of PDLS which is included in the premium packages, none of which I opted for:

Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
Dynamic cornering lights, speed-dependent headlight range control, adverse weather function and headlight washer system

I see, so it may still be true that there is no way to get rid of them with that combo.

Again, congrats on new ride. Looks awesome.
