Donavon (sorry if misspelled), you are missing out! The magic happens in the last 1000 RPM. The symphony gets sweeter and addictive! Try it out, every once in a while. You will love it!

Yeah, this would be nice to get an update. I am so happy to be back in a snotty little 987.2 Spyder. I never think twice about relinquishing my 718 Spyder. The 987.2 is just such pure, unadulterated fun.

It would be great to hear from kskpsu as he’s a nice gentleman with great taste in cars.

If my memory is correct, he sold his 981 Spyder and purchased the silver 987 Spyder - it had around 3,000 miles on it and was perfect. I hesitated for a few days about buying it right before he bought it. He did buy a second 987 Spyder with more miles on it and owned both of them for a time. It says a lot that he bought a second 987 Spyder to drive guilt free. Hopefully @kskpsu can chime in and provide an update.

Great question Zeus. Hopefully he does and is putting some miles on it.
