Well, this's is one heck of a party here, 6402 posts, not bad! Always enjoyed reading the Rennlist topics, top notch, no BS, true enthusiasts....
OK, that's enough of the sucking up......Been chasing the calling of the 991 sirens for the past few months, which led me to this thread. Basically narrowed it down to couple of horses, GTS/TurboS/4S. Were I was coming up a bit short is getting/finding the proper options to make the car somewhat special- as far as a mass produced car can be. No disrespect, everyone that's been under my watch has truly been a thrill, absolutely no regrets.
Looking forward to joining up with the members and see what we can come up with to help with my therapy.....BTW, a friend has a C2S, which I've driven (hard)...thought that all the electronics would kill the Porsche goodness, not even close, plus the air works!
Cheers

Some of these sports cars owners have commitment issues. Seriously, hear stories of flips well under a year ALL the time.
Many have the means to do it, and many other reasons. Some seriously buy cars every 6 months. Heard of one guy that bought around 20 new cars over a 2 year period.
Most guys here are looking for their dream car and tend to keep them longer. Sometimes!! Or just upgrade to another 991.1

It's been great looking through this thread, and now I've got the bug again. I've had three 997 versions of the 911: C2S, C4S, and T4S. Thinking about taking the plunge for a 991.1. Here is my wish list: coupe, manual tranny, sport exhaust, sport chrono, PASM, PDCC. Less than 30k miles. I tend to like unusual colors (I've had Murano Green and Nordic Gold), but my C4S was Meteor Gray. So, I'm open as to color. I'd like to keep the cost under $85k, but would consider going higher for the "perfect" 911. Am I going to be frustrated and window shopping for a long time in your opinion?

We see cars like you describe very often. Many of which have gone to HFS followers over the past (soon to be) 2 years.

No, as long as you're open to colors. Not likely to find a PTS (Paint to Sample) one, but there's all sorts of the other standard offerings and even a few unique colors out there.

Now that you've discovered it, there's no getting away. Ask all the other guys who are hooked. Even after they find a car!
