My 997.1 Launch Edition black is blacker than your Black Edition black which is blacker than the 991 black. Congrats on the purchase. Your mission is to keep the swirls at bay

That's why the 991 looks like an SUV from certain angles and has an artificial feel.

I've done my research.

Black is, to us who paint, the absence of color. So your triple black cars are, actually, colorless. Imagine asking Porsche to build a colorless 911. Wonder if they'd get it?

I know the only way you can get that is to do PTS!! Expensive but in this case worth every penny!

All the OP has to do is reveal his "research".
