Default Sad day for Porsche

So I saw my first 991.2 poser car this morning... A base carrera with a turbo badge.... Sheesh

My OCD gets inflamed when I see AMG/M on a standard car. Brace yourself!

For Porsche? Don't think so. More like a sad day for whoever slapped the badge on the car.

Anyone care to venture a guess on the VIN of the last 991.1 GTS made? Curious how close my incoming Targa will be.

It would be nice to know these things. I think they rolled off the last NA's during third shift on a weekend when nobody was paying attention. Silently hiding their crime.

Your car will be tied up in the "exclusive dept." front he next 6 months. Your VIN got assigned when it was produced, but was within the last month or two correct?

yup ...enjoy yours and the company of fellow enthusiasts ..even rebadgers ..its all good ...take for example the Prius with black wheels that passed me on 101 sporting a drony/ farty ricer exhaust ...was probably the " stranger's car " that gave me the biggest grin recently !

( my most admired , oft profiled Ferrari owner is the one living in a small town in the South who has a huge collection of yellow ones from classics to LaFerarri , many highlighted with red accents which he knows are quirky but reflect him and his wife and which give them sheer joy showing them publically and widely ! )

LOL - I was going to post this same ask, getting the new C4S Carrera S, on a scale of 1 to 10 how cheesy would it be to take the C4S Carrera S badging off and replace it with a traditional turbo badge ? Perhaps a 15 ? out of 10.

No one likes a misguided show-off. No one likes a purist either, though.
