Sold blue 997.2. Planned to keep it but after taking delivery of 992 at the factory i loved it so much had less of a reason to keep the 997. Kept the 911 G series my dad bought brand new in ‘87!
Not my cup of tea. It was a fun car and every female from 18-80 years old wanted to jump in and take a ride. Seating position was really bad, blind spots everywhere, rode like a tractor but handling wasn't good enough to justify it. The specs of the 992s are almost identical. 0-60, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile. You can actually travel for the weekend in the 992. Me and the wife had to ship our luggage when we took weekend trips in the Huracan.
But, I'm a Porsche fan. I've owned (2) GT3's and (2) Carrera's in the past.
My dealer called and said they had a Customer back out of their 992 allocation that just arrived, if I was interested to come take a look.
They gave me a great trade deal and coupled with a stupid low interest rate I really couldn't walk away from the deal. The also added a 992 GT3 Touring allocation spot for me.
Many years ago, after playing around with autocross and track days in two different Porsche clubs, I switched to bikes. After a friend was in an accident my enthusiasm for riding two wheels was dampened. Lately I've realized how much I miss having something fun and fast to drive, so I'm intending to scratch the itch by going back to four wheels. So technically I think this is my answer to the question because it really is replacing a motorcycle from a "what is it's use to me" perspective--namely something that is fast, is performance-oriented, can be driven on the street, and can be tracked. The fact I can road trip with my wife is a plus, too (although she's been a good sport about riding two-up on some motorcycle road trips--albeit not on the S1000RR pictured below :-)
Im about to put my 2019 991.2 C4s with 2k miles, fabspeed cats, cobb stage 1 tune (500 awhp), eilbach springs and black with Bordeaux interior with full frontal bra, rear quarters bra and ceramic coating up for sale for my 992 which gets in January...
