HOT FOR SALE: Pick of the Week 991

Lol. This from the guy who brought the GM marketing cheerleading into this thread? Why didn’t you “keep it to the C8 thread”?
Of course it’ll make it into production. It’s a Vette. Shoddy fit and finish is as expected as pushrods.
High chance I’d still take one over a 991.2 due to the N/A roarer alone. Hopefully the 992 puts a 9A2evo in a model so I can have my cake (911) and eat it too (emotive/loud N/A engine). Until then, imo the 991.1 is a hard proposition to let go of, when taking all factors into account.

He learns from the best broken records >>>>
From all reports so far the C8 will deliver. GM invested a lot of $$ into the production and they plan on making over 40K+ a year of them. Economies of scale without the Porsche tax. The C8 has a lot of customization options without the upcharge game.
You pay like 20%+ more for a Porsche because their high profit margins and overpaid union German line workers.
The C8 will be a game changer. Wait until the higher performance variants come out as well.

To each it's own.
I used ro own an C5 back when they first came out and the build quality was not great, but nearly 20 years all of the manufacturers have come a long a way, including the domestic brands.
My F350 is just a luxurious as my Range Rover is most of the interior and the Range Rover Carrie's at 60% premium.

Can we PLEASE post some HFS 991s? On a side note, I was just in Big Sur and I rented a 991.2 base vert for the trip. It was my first experience with the TT motor - I liked the power delivery and its eagerness. Great car.

Here's a lovely CPO 991.2 stripper for little over 997.2 money. Oh I'd be all over that sexy thing if I could. Guards red on tan, such a nice color combo. Would look even better with silver wheels, but that can be fixed.

I'm a bit shocked at how many cars are ordered without sport chrono. I could care less about the dash wart, and no biggie giving up dynamic engine mounts, but losing the sport + mode in pdk and/or the auto-blip rev matched downshifts on the manual is a deal breaker for me.
(ps, I love the anthracite wheels!)
