It comes down to feel for me. The front end has that 911 lightness to it that comes thru on the steering wheel. I can sense the transfer of weight in the suspension. I can feel an individual tire as its loading up. The front end gets just a little darty when on power and making aggressive steering inputs.

These are all the things I fell in love with when owning my 991.2 GTS. My 992 GTS had very little of it, or at least I couldn’t drive the car hard enough on the street for these qualities to come thru.

I hope you love your 911 when she finally arrives. These are incredible machines.

This might be talking politics but I’m not really a break-in believer. I drive my cars after the first 100 - 200 miles. From what I’ve seen the cars that have problems are the ones that aren’t driven. I swear I’m a good person!

I hear you. I'm kind of in between on it. Normal driving for about 800-1000 miles and then all bets are off.

Considering the number of Porsches he’s owned, he sure acts like he's never had one. Seems like a nice fellow but has no business giving car advice to others. Next month I expect another video saying he’s changing his mind and wishes he never sold the T.

I received the 60th anniversary knock-off badge and was surprised how bleached out the colors look. The red is almost pink, less so in the pic maybe. I guess this is why you don't buy Chinese knockoffs. I wonder if the factory part is available? The real one looks a lot larger.

I bought this set months ago and posted about the lack of quality here. I'm using the very cool Rennsport badge instead.

Yes, he's desperate. And unfortunately, we keep feeding him.

I wish I had seen your post. lol. For 150 dollars ya think they could make it look better and be the correct size. I don't think I will be installing this.
