Maybe I will replace it with a GT3 - lots of them available at dealers these days. But then she will complain it rides too rough and is too loud on the road.

This 911 T is louder and a more serious sports car than my 2022 Targa 4 —- Faster feeling as well.

I am thinking a PDK GTS Cabriolet would be a good substitute for the T - sneaky way of getting permission to spend even more money on a new Porsche for my little collection.

Anyone interested in a new 911 T? Private message.

@Macboy

Macboy is this you??

Can you translate for us non-Dutch speakers?

Is it a good review - he says 'lekker' a lot so I'm guessing he likes it??

@ECNJ I'm following this one with interest. Will be good to see what you think of the bass when you install the amp you're waiting for.
Could be just what I'm looking for as well!!

What amp are you thinking about using? How many channels?

He calls it a "driver's car" at one point. He does like it.
You can use YouTube's CC and auto-translate functions. Also, speaking both German and English, I can understand a lot of what he is saying.

Got any recommendations for a nice vinyl turn table with decent speakers that I won’t have to sell a kidney or cancel my T order for? (Only none T related question, I promise haha)

Yikes - Thorens was my 1st reaction and I looked at how expensive they are now! And my old TD-160 still seems to command respect. Nice.

Delivery day at PEC ATL - right now all I can really say is wow... Photos are the ones from the PEC staff so no interiors yet. That'll have to wait until we get home.... If it wasn't for the fact that Porsche jacked the price up so ridiculously this year I'd recommend a PEC delivery. If nothing else, do the driving experiences...

Update: Violet Ace is docking in Jacksonville, only a few more days if all goes well!

As of today, it’s been 901 days since I kicked off this whole thing. How poetic would it be if I picked it up on day 911?

Mark and Zack are great folks. Don't worry if it's raining during your track time, it won't impact the experience at all. It was chucking down but we still did everything on the West Course. If anything the rain makes it easier to deliberately break the car free.

Ok so this picture got my heart racing - my car will look exactly like this (color, standard front bumper w/black lip, PDLS+, standard wheels, no side decal). Only difference is around back where I got the clear taillights and no rear badge. I have to say, though, the rear badge looks nice in that gray (as opposed to chrome lettering like you'd find on an S). Looking forward to seeing your interior pics!
