I also appreciate this. I was looking into either a Ferrari FF (I just love the V12 family car lmfao) or R8 or Turbo as alternatives to a gt3 if I didn't get an allocation. Obviously I got my way, but if I was a rich man I'd have a couple of those as well!

Removes ADM drama there’s always a deal, but when you stick with one you’re screwed. Love Porsche, but I’m not a brand *****.

I wish lambo would reconfigure their cars. My 6’4” frame does not fit comfortably in one. I would love to add a Lambo to the garage amongst the other toys but I don’t thing that is every gonna happen unless I look at an Urus which just doesn’t fit my needs at the moment.

I'm also 6 4. Exact reason why I haven't gotten a Lambo. Porsche does such a good job making their cars comfortable even for us tall people. Jay leno is a husky guy somewhat tall and he sat in the GT3 and looked like he was comfortable.

I’ve owned a touring and a RS in the past- had zero issues with comfort. Perfect for us big guys.

This is so funny, I’m also 6’4” and a friend of mine just got a huracan EVO. He let me take it out for a few hours and I was actually driving with my eyes ABOVE the wind shield / roof (thank god it was a convertible). I couldn’t stop laughing and gave him the keys back after about 20 min 🤣😭

Agree. At least 12- 18 months.

Heck - you can take delivery in the next 6 month of a new Turbo and probably be able to flip it and make some money

Hey Johnny,

Favor to ask of you. Could you ask your guy doing the wrap to see if the black plastic boarders of the nostrils are removable (assuming that would want to wrap under them if so) and, if they are, take some photos of the front of the car with the inserts out? Really curious what the front of the car would look like without the black plastic surrounds. Thanks a ton.

Yeah I can try to remember to ask him! I'm almost certain they are removable. You can buy a lot of those plastic parts on Suncoast Porsche parts website.
