Default New addition to the garage

Was lucky enough to get it home before the rain and snow came.

2018 GTS. I love it can't believe the car performance and sound is so amazing for such a small engine.

Yes, black is a pain but my Cayenne is also black and black looks so good when clean. I still have both the other cars 3.9l C4S and my RWD Turbo. I went into the wall due to a failed abs sensor and computer turned off abs and I locked up going into corner 8. It will get fixed up in spring new front bumper, splitter and rads. After that is done I am not sure I'll keep tracking that much with the newly painted bumper.
No I didn't get the extended warranty. It only had 10k on it and I don't plan to put more then 5k a year on it considering the other cars have to get driven as well. I almost got the clear coat protection done but decided to save the money. Already ordered wider wheels and camber plates for it so it will be ready for the track next season.

Is that the turbo 4 cylinder one? I was out with an instructor this past year at Mosport in his newly acquired 4 cylinder one and man that thing was a rocket.

Black over grey, white, and those terrible flat/primer colors any day. You have excellent taste. Well done.

I had one, chipped it, dynoed at 385 rwhp,,,, as said, a rocket!!

I am not a pro, but I did need the rear toe links to avoid massive tail wags into T8.....

Overall a gem of a car!

Congrats!!

Awesome car! With a simple tune, these cars are faster than GT4’s. Enjoy in good health.
