Love the paint but not the wheels.
The guy's breathing sounds labored. He should see a cardiologist.

Glad you guys enjoyed This may be my profession but my blood bleeds Porsche through and through. As for breathing thanks for concern bit of a summer cold and congestion. The ideal whells for this will be the 20" fuchs that are earmarked for the 991 50th.

PDK in a RS 2.7 Tribute ? Hmm, maybe more sense in a 7 speed manual since going for the retro feel and look

I agree about the PDK and sunroof. However have to also take into consideration what market dictates even if I agree or not for this was v 1.0 to open the minds of not only clients but those at PCNA and PAG.

I am very fortunate to be in a store that fuels true Porsche enthusiasm. The Graphics were done by our Senior Tech Russ Deubel who also runs BSN graphics in NY he has done many a race cars, vintage restorations and the such. He is also a fellow rennlister =)

This "sport classic wheel"is now offered as an option on the Turbo S. So you may be able to purchase them for your car.

Really, I might have to check that box.

Next time im in Germany I will get my Turbo build done. I trust my friends in TechQuipment depot much more than I do the people at the dealerships.

Might have it done at the LA Auto Show this year too.
