Bought a friend for my 911.2 C2s. Interesting dynamic here. At heart I am a motorcycle guy and love riding both on street and dirt. It was the fervent hope from my wife that the 911 would at least steer me away from sport bikes. My first impressions of the 911 were oh my god this thing can corner. I was super impressed and two years later I am still impressed. We plan on keeping the 911 for a long long time. Power is good and more than enough for my taste in a car. The one thing missing is the lean angles and acceleration you can get from a sport bike, so after two years and much to my wife's frustration, I picked up a Ducati Panigale V4s.
This is Ducati's latest sport bike. It is a 1199cc V4 engine. It makes 214 hp at the crank and weighs 430 lbs wet weight ready to ride. Most importantly it has extremely sophisticated and adjustable performance and stability controls that are mind boggling. It really is a game changing machine. So yeah, I am off the wagon and loving it. After riding the Ducati, the 911 feels pretty tame. I still think I can get around corners faster in the 911 due to the safety factor. But for sure the Ducati could brake later and just destroy the 911 on corner exit. Top speed for both machines is about the same. Anyway, life is good!
New Ducati Panigale V4s. Behind it is my KTM 1290 Adventure R. Out of frame is our incredible 911.
Well I see a Sitch on the wall,and some nice track leather hanging ready for use.. The Panigale is one of the Best street weapon going, Not for the light-hearted rider.The Bike loves to be whipped...gimme me more,more.
Iam been riding/racing 55 years it's the best sport to acquire cheap adrenalin as needed.
Ride safe and enjoy.
This just showed up from Suncoast. I’ve got a 2018 Carrera on a truck coming now so it seemed appropriate. I think it’ll look nice zip tied to my grill when it finally shows up.
Yes install and color don't work for me, photo's can be deceiving, Once the spoiler is activated i imagine it would look foolish with stacked spoilers. Have a picture of with activated spoilers?
how can you say the color doesn’t work for you, it’s carrera white, sometimes I wonder why I even post here, some people in this forum are just too much, some act like their professional race car driver or automotive engineers, apparently all they can do is only criticize,
you can check out the pictures on the website spoilernation.com do you think these Porsche stacked spoilers look foolish?

I really want these on my car. Are they sketchy in any way or form in dry weather? Hows the traction upon initial drive?
Not at all sketchy in dry weather. I agree with others that MPSC2s would have made for a great optional tire. They're standard on GT3s. They have greatly increased cornering limits and the car remains predictable at the limit. My 991 tt still doesn't quite handle as well as a GT3 (still has a lot more weight and AWD), but pretty close, and the extra power and torque put lap times very close. Like any tire, you need to drive them a bit when new to get rid of the slippery mold release compound, but it took very few miles to do that.

Tough decision every day.
Ducati 916?...... MV Agusta B800?.... Aprilia RS 250?.... OR 911 C4S? Italian OR German?
Girodisc rotors + Ferodo DS2500 pads ordered from Clark at Apex. Should be here next week + installed soon after. Toasted my rear pads (again) at Watkins Glen earlier this week so time to finally move up from stock brakes...
Ok that is a GREAT looking garage! I think the most fun track bike would be the 250. Enjoy!!!!![QUOTE=jingber;15080052]

I don't mean to criticize but its more likely CarrAra white. The car is a CarrEra. I'm just bustin your ballz. I have noticed that quite a lot of people in the Porsche circles Lack imagination.
It's your car. It's just a car. We all have had many, and will have many more. You may mod to your hearts content, you don't need permission. I will mod the **** out of mine. That alone tends to annoy 50% of people here.
My favourite is, "Why don't you just enjoy the car as it is." Well, because I can personalise it. I have Cup 2's and IPD plenum already. Plan on many more.
