I will post some picture tonight. Got too excited last night didn't even get to take any good pictures. Coming from a 2014 Boxster S (pdk,sports chrono) and before that 2011 E92 M3 ( manual). I always think the best combo is manual paired with a high revving NA engine. I always regret giving up my V8 m3. Now I have the perfect chance, so I have to grab the last remaining NA one. I was able to get about 9% off the sticker, which I think is not a bad deal at all. Consider all the 991.2 they are selling is at MSRP.

I have been debating too if I should wait for the 991.2 GTS. Since Porsche's infotainment system is really outdated need some serious revision and 991.2 just make some improvement in that division.

The IPD plenum is (IMO) a waste of time and money on the X51 engine, the powerkit has already greatly improved the engine's breathing beyond that which the IPD could provide.

Gorgeous. Great move to get the last of the NA engines with the 7MT. You'll love it (I speak from experience). Congrats!

Good job on the price. My local dealer was offering 10% off about a month ago. On any new 2015! you got almost that much off a 2016. Nice.
