OK now wait just a cotton pickin' minute. I preface by saying the car in the thread looks great but... It's not a big leap in Power-to-weight ratio...right?

I’d be extremely thankful as I’m stressing way too much over this color decision lately, first world problems I know......
A tad late but this is spot on how it looks in sunlight

Whilst these factors are obviously important, it’s not all about power or power to weight ratio for that matter.
The 992 just seems to have more mechanical competence about it. The grip in and out of corners and bends is remarkable, more so than the 991.2 machines that’s for sure.

Just check out the latest lap times around Hockenheim and the Nurburgring and compare to the 991’s.

Folks can cry all they want about the nubin and whatever else they think of, however, it doesn’t take away from the fact this is a very, very competent car.

Recent threads on here pertaing to what you alluded to remind me of every other car forum I've been a part of. There's a healthy dose of confirmation bias from owners of the 'old' model. Actually confirmation bias from both sides.

It's gonna blow over as more and more people take delivery. I just wish EPA/Carb would get a move on!

This was super helpful, thank you. Can you post any other outside pics-- if it's not too much trouble?
I'm still thinking about Gentian blue for my Spyder build, and need to decide really soon.
This pic helps a lot.

And they actually left the spoiler up in the dealership - did they think that looked nice or something?!

It's actually a good place to add a personal statement:
