Default Finally Arrived!!!! 991 Base





love it!!!!!! worth the long wait since nov 1st order date..


best options: sport plus seats and the blue interior.

modifications to come: sport plus front lip and suspension.

had exhaust on order but stock exhaust sounds so amazing, im honestly surprised... much better than 997.1 and 997.2

Looks great! How did you order the 19's wheels in black? Configurator wont let me do it and i like that they didn't leave the silver edge like they usually do...

Sweet. I agree the sports plus seats are excellent. Is it PDK or 7 speed manual?

Congrats mate! Did you end up with a his & her's? I'm patiently waiting for your review. Not sure why, but I respect your opinion. Perhaps it's your objective view and the fact that you have always stayed above the fray. I wasn't a fan of black wheels until I saw this stunning car. Cheers.

Congratulations. That is an extremely clean looking setup. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more about it. Yes, what is the story with the dual cars?

Same with my Cayenne's I had the dealer set it up, they are powdercoated satin black, crests left alone.... I like em a lot.

thank you, i have the "quad's" coming, ordered before i saw the car.. but the ovals look good in person, not cheap looking like 997.1/997.2

Very nice! Sweet looking 991. Congrats.
Finally, how do you feel about the riding height w/o PASM?
Still considering the lowering springs?
I am literally agonizing (no kidding) over this.

also, not sure if everyone notices... but with "model delete" the "porsche" get's lowered to almost center... they do the same on the Cayenne with model delete but always hard to tell because rarely do you see them next to eachother.

loving the car, coming from 997.1/997.2 and sampling two 958 Cayenne's... the 991 is my favorite Porsche to date...

my only questions/qualms so far as in regards to the exhaust, it sounds great but i dont notice much difference between the sound flap being open/closed.. or even know that it does that because a lack of info in manual and online..

anyone know the official name of the sound flap setup, where it routes to (behind that rear panel right?) and it's open with sport but closed otherwise?

the only info i've found is here: https://rennlist.com/forums/9066958-post7.html which is where i gathered my above knowledge... but the exhaust seems VERY prominent regardless of setting.

since the sound comes from the intake, I assume exhaust changes would not change/amplify the "sound symposer" loudness? but obviously would affect actual exhaust sound.
