I’m with State Farm which covers actual value if full loss. Will be much more than either of those values.

 

very similar clutch/throttle response characteristics. The ST is obviously much more refined and easier to drive but for a 911 it’s as close you can possibly get to the Carrera GT

 

911R has the same title issue as the S/T. IE: state dmv system pulls up GT3 RS when titling. It caught my attention when I titled my R but I confirmed with my dealer it's common place.

I would advise using a specialty insurer such as Hagerty or Parish Heacock with cars such as the S/T. These insurers know the car market and values and they understand the emotional and intellectual dynamics of working with automotive enthusiasts. Are they more expensive premium wise than State Farm, Chubb, Nationwide, etc.? YES. If you have an issue whether you're at fault, someone else is, or you have a more and more common weather event with your 6 to 7 figure car who do you want to be dealing with!?! Someone used to insuring Chevy Tahoe's and Ford F150's or someone used to insuring nuanced Porsche's and Ferrari's...? AGREED VALUE is the only way to go!

 

I spoke to multiple people at Hagerty that stated they absolutely will not insure the S/T as a lease and anyone who has it on their policy either 1) isn’t leasing or 2) didn’t make it clear that the car is being leased. So, for that year, some of us are stuck leasing and the options are limited. ACV coverage with larger names like Star Farm or AAA is likely going to be the only option for many folks leasing unless they already have large estate policies with the likes of Chubb.

 

Interesting, and appreciate the heads up. Mine arrives December and I haven’t called Hagerty to add it yet. Surprised Hagerty has concerns about the lease.

 

I got the hagertys partner info, i’ll call the guy tomorrow and share the freakin mandatory lease dilemma .. he told me when we met during Monterey car week to share as soon as i have vin

 

O.K. I'm bringing it back to owners. I actually hate the plastic 60s Heritage badge, but I love the way it's melted into the engine cover. Am I crazy? They made sure you can't remove it, but it also seems part of the car.

 

^ It's not terrible. At least it doesn't have the "Icons of Cool" logo on the badge. I would have preferred something more subtle, as they did on the 50th Anniversary car.

 

I know we can change the icons of cool puddle light so I don’t feel trapped. I had a custom GT3 yellow light made for my last GT3 so I know I could get a perfect 921 S/T puddle light for my current car.

 

I was hoping for more pictures from all the new owners. Here's mine at Cars and Coffee, Porsche Santa Clarita yesterday. The black car behind me is a 911R. Next Saturday I'm going on a PCA drive through the mountains near Los Angeles. Can't wait.

 

I plan to drive my S/T to SoCal often from NorCal.. we should have a SoCal S/T drive!

 

Count me in!

 

I plan on driving up there too… but prior we should hit the NorCal amazing backroads together !

 

I have always put seat bolster covers on my LWBS. I would purchase the one piece from exclusiveoption.com. They would make them in the cars original leather with the matching stitching. Because I have the heritage package I wasn't sure whether to go all black or all cognac. I called them and they made custom ones to exactly match the two tone interior. They also have a new two piece style that looks great. I put one on drivers seat last night, took 5 minutes, and will do passenger tomorrow. I need to smooth the leather out but was in a hurry to see how it looks. I'm attaching pictures of both. The company is easy to work with and can to all kinds of custom leather work at reasonable prices. Not cheap, but reasonable.

 

I can second that - exclusiveoption easy to work with and I opted for the one piece two tone protector for my heritage.
