And yes, air suspension. Most Turbos and all GTS' have it, it was an option on the S and base models. It's a pretty robust system that tends to be trouble free, but like most things Porsche when something does go wrong it can get expensive quick. For offroading you're generally better off getting a rig without air suspension, but I do a lot of towing so I wanted the air (and I like the ride quality).
Interesting stuff, makes for a very capable off roader.

I just snagged my first 911 last week, and threw in some GT3 buckets.

Thanks man! This was a tip, I manual swapped it last year.
Wheels are Apex VS5-RS in 996 widebody fitment. I think 9" fronts and 12" rears.
Wing, I think it's a Misha GT2 replica. It's mounted to the turbo wing struts.

Went for a fantastic rip; this car is so much more than the Kia van I've been driving for the last three weeks.

Good to be back in the saddle.

That's very nice, it will be fun to drive it against the 996/991 back to back.

They are gorgeous, but I'm more of a built-not-bought kind of guy... Not to mention the million-dollar-plus price tag.

Stunning; seen the 935 homage one yet?

Equally stunning, much more spendy.
