Tons of these Macan wheels in eBay.
Need a new shroud if your car is a manual.

Got it on ebay. The seller had a few of these brand new wheels without multifunction + airbag for 1k but it looks like he's sold out.

The steering wheel is from a 991 without the multifunction. It was straight up plug and play for me.

For 1K....I don't see the value. For a couple hundred I could see it on a used wheel.

Luck Dog !

That's the only new 911 that interests me. That one looks just like the one in the Atlanta Experience Center

BTW, I lost the back end of mine a week after getting new tires getting onto the freeway and PSM reeled me back in but by the time I drove from LA to the bay area and back, they were grippy. I did a little road trip to FD Motorsports to get some Fisters that broke in my new tires nicely (except for the aforementioned on ramp).
Yes you are correct you can take it off with some aggressive driving, but only to a point. I usually scrub the tires down off the car with some very aggressive soaps to remove all the silicone, but I didn’t have time this weekend. The back end started to get away from me once before I remembered about the new tire greasy driving thing.

It's the same owner of the GT3RS mk1 (500hp PDK) and Speedster (510hp MT). 991 speedster with heritage package exists in this color only. Number you can choose and why 71 is due to Porsche 356 Speedster Steve McQueen version n71
GT3RS I drove before, even at the track while Speedster I tested yesterday. Very simple, I'm the RS man: cool:
Speedster is a great looking, great exhaust sound and MT but if I have to choose it would be definitely RS, actually the best is my 997.2 C2S

This looks absolutely epic. My colleague sent it to me over the weekend via IG.

No chance of driving that here. I have to be careful with 4" clearance or so with Aerokit. Sweet looking turbo though.
Correction....I thought it was a turbo but just a reflection.....I feel better now... I rarely compliment turbos...lol.
Black rock shield on black paint....very surprisingly good.

not a turbo but thanks for the kind words lol

I was on coils for about a year and destroyed 3 gt3 cup lips so I was over that nonsense so I went with air suspension. I know its not for everyone, few people really, but I love it and have had numerous bagged cars and after the coiler stint on this car I had to go back to air. No complaints at all so far and I'm on my same lip from last year

serious hard parking. pulled out of garage, parked it, looked at the perfect car you would take to dinner with the parents next to the bad car you can't even introduce to your friends, and pulled it back into the garage.
