HOT FOR SALE: Pick of the Week 991
12-07-2017, 12:44 AM
For me: #1 is headroom. Although even sunroof 911's have miraculously incredible headroom, more than most luxury sedans and SUV's (a testament to the sheer genius Porsche engineers into these otherwise small cars), I'm tall, so every extra little bit counts. Then weight, then added rigidity (I'm assuming slight, but there), then I guess looks are another benefit.

1. Head room
2. Weight, 30lbs ish or more... which isn't insignificant
3. Complexity, if you have ever owned a "vintage" car with a sunroof and plan to own your 991 for a long time...they break and cost a lot to fix
4. Noise, sunroofs on these cars have been known to be the source of rattles.... back to #3

Head room critical when wearing a helmet...

And
All of these and imagine what happens to strength and rigidity over time when you cut a hole in something.

Cracking the sunroof with the vent position on my 997 GTS is a great way to enhance/appreciate the PSE.
Other than that, I would prefer a slick roof.

Same, I passed up so many cars because I required no sunroof. I ended up getting too frustrated at how hard it was to find a non sunroof car with all the other boxes I want ticked, so gave in and got a (steel, which at least is a bit lighter than glass) sunroof. I open it a ton and love the open air element within a Coupe, but still, given the choice, I’d prefer non sunroof.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Seems I've got a lot to post. Pictures at gas stations, why I had to have a manual transmission, Why I bought a .1 instead of a .2, etc, etc! LOL! So I actually started to pursue this very car when it was being sold new at a dealer in Huston TX two years ago. I unfortunately did not have all my finances together to make it happen at the time. So, when I saw this car up for sale here on rennlist I was presented with another chance to purchase the car. This was the classified add. (https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...ition-cpo.html). Seeing that I didn't want to fly out to see the car in person I started looking for friends on the east coast that might be able to look at the car for me. I ended up contacting Nick Murray who some of you know from his You Tube channel to put eyes on the car after I discovered he lived in the same town as the seller. I was just looking for a verbal description from Nick but Nick ended up making a video of the inspection and posted it on YouTube for all to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia1KNXrrdG0&t=1s. As of today their has been 29,667 views which is kind of crazy to think about. Of course 1000 of those views are from me! LOL!
Congrats on an outstanding purchase! Im so jealous!!
