“It’s not that high dollar” was probably meant relatively speaking to other cars like lambos, mclarens, turbos etc and the “lol” in end of that context usually keeps the convo friendly, but only some sensitive “snowflake” like you would take it as smug, get offended, and take it the wrong way. And then have the nerve to take it further out of hand by telling someone they don’t know where they come from, get perspective and label them spoiled? Being older and working hard entitles you to make assumptions and accusations like that? You can’t say all that and then say “you do you whatever makes you happy is all that matters” and act like you didn’t just slander.

Btw even those higher end supercars (which a 911 carrera isn’t) ARE modded by many folks. So why would/should a subdued car like a 911 be any less prone to be modded? And a 911 carrera isn’t a “$200k” car, so let’s get all these relative facts right first.

 

And with clear LED side markers.

 

So because I didn't interpret that comment the way you did, I'm wrong and you're right? In what world is $200K for an effing car ​​not a lot of money regardless of how it was said? Wow. And I assure you the last thing in the world I am is a snowflake. As far as "labeling" someone as you said, who else besides a spoiled brat, or someone who's broken their butt working a lifetime and somehow forgotten that, would make a crack like that? Please tell me. Slander? Seriously? That's not slander, that's called truth. And most-not all-people I've encountered with "higher end" cars definitely have an attitude like they're something special, but I've yet to see a supercar that's been modified. And yes, I know a Porsche isn't considered a supercar, but once again, a $200K car is nothing to be sneezed at. And I say $200K because my incoming GTS cost $210K. Sent the wire this past Monday and I don't really care what a Carrera costs. What I do care about is someone acting like "what's the big deal? It's only a $200K car. Why not modify it? As if its pocket change when to everyday people thats a fortune. It's sickeningly arrogant.

One time on our way to the gun range with an arsenal in my Chevy, my son and I stopped at a gas station for a coffee and what's in the parking lot? A group of people on their way to some kind of car event. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McLaren, Porsche, Mercedes, Jaguar, you name it. So I go all dewey-eyed and went over to kibbutz with them and talk cars. One guy wearing a pink Polo shirt and docksiders even had his collar turned up, but whatever. The women were nice enough, but the men looked and my son and I like we were scum of the earth and all but one would even talk to us. Literally. I got so pissed I could feel horns sprouting on my head and if it wasn't for my 6' 4" 210-lb son dragging me away they'd all probably still be laying in that parking lot. So yeah, I've got a big problem with arrogant snobs. But lesson learned. From now on I'll keep my non-overly soft and friendly comments to myself because heaven forbid I slander someone like you or anyone else. My goodness we can't have that can we.

P.s. you want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars+ on a car collection and then have them ripped apart and modified with tunes, suspension parts, exhaust systems, and stereos all done by what I'm sure are more than qualified people, knock yourself out. Heck, I encourage you to do it. What could go wrong? And if anything does go wrong, no big deal right, just throw more money at whatever goes wrong (it's only money for goodness sake) and easy peasy abra cadabra fixed. Simple.

 

Well this thread degraded quickly...only on RL can you find lowering a 911 with new wheels become so polarizing and get into minute details about the wildest stories!

 

 

It almost looked like same rim size front and rear, I like that. Because most factory 21s in the front leave so much gap vs the 22s in the rear. Maybe the drop helps reduce that, but that’s one thing I really don’t love about the stock 992, and you solved that with this combination. Great looking 911.

 

Opened this thread to look at pics of the new wheels and drop. 2 minutes into reading this thread:
