Thanks everyone for the kind words! You definitely can't go wrong going black on black! hehe

Destaccado: The lip comes with the vehicle when you select sport PASM as an option. The stock stereo is great and although the Bose and Burmeister open would have been a lot better, I don't think I would have enjoyed it since I'm more into the noise of the car than the audio system. For the most part, I have the radio off when I'm driving to hear the exhaust and the engine.

They are entirely different cars. The Spyder is the most raw sports car that Porsche had to offer in the past few years. It is definitely more nimble when compared to the 991S and more visceral. The Spyder is a car that was not built with compromise.

I believe the Spyder handles better with its stiffer suspension since the car is literally flat while the 991S does lean a little bit in the corners I take all the time in PASM active mode. The 991S is a lot faster than the Spyder though. Overall the 991S is a compromise vehicle and is still a beast while the Spyder is no compromise and a more visceral experience.

Something that is definitely interesting of the Spyder though is the amount of attention the Spyder gets. Everyone stares at the vehicle like its an exotic vehicle and people compliment the vehicle and take photos. The Spyder is one sexy car and its quite amazing just some aerobits can do to a car.

Nice. Congrats. Looks just like the one I ordered (black/black/s wheels). It's somewhere on the Atlantic now.

You said sport pasm. Very interesting. What's your ground to bumper distance in mm? Can't find info with precise figures.

I read on 6speed that standard is 109, pasm 99, sport pasm 89. That is minimum ground clearance and assume nose would be the minimum.

I should compare with my BMW 1m clearance. 1m clearance is lowest I can afford in my city as daily car.

Checked 4s clearance. It's about 18.5 cm, so it for sure more than 1m has.
