This quote is about as overdone as the “when in Vegas” saying. Overrated IMO. If you’re really worried about driving a slow car fast, size a rubber washer under the gas pedal to limit your throttle 😂

@VarTheVar @quarterscale @CurryPuff thanks for the road recommendations! Haven't seen another 992 the entire trip and ran into one at Semperviren's Point. 35 was a lot bumpier than I expected and I definitely scrapped my front bumper on a compression closer to 92. Unfortunately 9 has a couple of lane closures currently but the first part was great.

There is actually something to this concept.., I wouldn’t say a ‘slow’ car, fast… some cars are just … hmmm, hard to say it, ‘too quick’ . Many of todays supercars are blindingly, blistering fast… my F8 gets to 8k RPM in a literal second and less… I mean it’s fun but you don’t get the joy of building up to redline in each gear- it’s just bap bap bap bap! I mean, it’s entirely fun! But a different kind of fun than a ‘slower or less quick’ car climbing and revving up to redline, like the 911. Just very different kinds of fun which is what makes it great to have so many great car choices these days. Speed isn’t everything, in fact, it’s only a tiny bit of the full driving enjoyment

will you do a more detailed thread or review of your T tuning stages and thoughts? I for one would be interested, though I know for the most part would be similar to your base build.

I was so excited about getting my Carrera T back in May to enjoy during the summer...
It's now delayed until damn near November with no explanation why. Sucks.

@Will Motivation Man, that’s a long time for something that can be assembled in a few days. Do u know anyone in corporate? If not, PM me something that identifies your build without sharing anything personal and I’ll send my contact a note to help push. Ha, I’ll just tell them you’re very disappointed in not making our NE 911 meet this month….

Good point on photo Friday....here's mine (first pic of it for this forum) a couple weekends ago....did The Suches Loop, Georgia's 'Tail of the Dragon'. Amazing route even though it was wet and sometimes raining


but hey I'm still in break-in (1,200 miles now) so not ripping it up out there. The upside....almost nobody out on a Saturday morning.

Really need to hit tail of the dragon one day.
I don’t generally like silver cars…but something so right about it on a 911!

I told myself I would PPF this car for the first time but something is still holding me back. I've never done film on a single car I've owned. If I could just magically apply it I would be more willing but I don't love the idea of removing headlights, mirrors, door handles, emblems on a new car. Also, to do the full car is over 10k, which is kind of crazy. I would only do the front. What I'm wondering is, can you see when the doors and rear are not done but the front is?

Does no one leave paint naked anymore? For 10k I feel like I could have the whole car painted better than the factory.

My T is first car I got PPF’d. Found local guy that did front bumper, hood and fenders for $1,500. That was enough coverage for me. Glad I did it after a year has passed. The 911 front nose is pretty low. I noticed a couple of marks that could have been a chip….

To answer your question. No, can’t tell the difference. Not sure if u can pick up from a pic, but fender has PPF but not on door.
