Here’s a picture of my C4 from a cars and coffee meetup yesterday. Aventurine has a real chameleon like quality between grey and green...

Dan, Your car is amazing. The side by side pic with the 991 really shows the contrast between the two iterations. I don't want to start another 991 vs 992 argument, but the 992 really makes the 991 look dated. And that's coming from someone who's owned three 991s.

Would like to get your thoughts n seats as you put some miles on it.

The hood on the 992 reminds me of the early long hood cars.

Hi Dan, what is your interior spec for the 992? Have I missed something in the configurator, because I didn't stumble upon your spec?

Sure, glad to gives my thoughts to you. I moved from 14-way heated and ventilated seats to these 18-way Sport Tex seats. I’ll spend three hours in them on Thursday when I drive back from Tyson’s to the beach.

It should all be there. Sport Tex with deviated stitching on 18-way seats, leather backs on the 18-ways, carbon fiber trim, carbon fiber steering wheel, carbon fiber sill plates, And a few other things. What are you trying to find?

That really drew me to it, and the homage interior as well.

I was one of those that felt it was a 991.3, and then took one out on a test drive. It was so much better that I had to have it. There are aspects of the 991.2 that I prefer like the narrow body and simpler electronics, but the overall design speaks more to me about the car’s heritage.

Ah check; missed out on the sport tex. Looks a lot like the hounds tooth of earlier 911's as well as the 50th anniversary edition. Like it a lot!

My AG/Mojave Carrera S. Its a beautiful color but somewhat conservative. Sometimes it looks grey and at other times green.

Beautiful. Thanks for the photo in the sunshine. I haven’t seen mine in the sunshine yet, maybe Thursday!
