No, but I am considering it. It's super pretty.

My wife and I were out in ours over the weekend and were talking about it. We just don't baby our cars, the 991 has over 32k miles on it now, and we don' think we'd want a car that we couldn't pile miles on. This one would need to stay low miles to hold value... not sure that's what we want.

Ah. Not worth buying if you angst over using it...But, given how long you keep your cars typically, it would seem like you would get a ton of personal value and enjoyment out of it.

This car is wicked. I like the shade of blue and the color combo doesn’t make the targa top look so unwieldy as some combos can.

Shark Blue Spyder. Hard to come up with a much better spec.

I received the email regarding the car at 9:42 and I have been eyeing it ever since. :lol:

For me personally, even if they were the same money I’d get the GTS over the Spyder, just because I like to drive the car daily and the top and seats in the GTS make it more usable day-to-day.

If I were in your situation, though? About the only thing I’d change on this car is the carbon ceramics, which I’d rather not deal with. Assuming you can still do it I might take the discs off and put them in a safe place and swap iron rotors on, so I didn’t have to worry about a steep repair bill down the line.

Agreed on all counts. The GTS would be the sweet spot, I learned that lesson with the GT4. Not to mention how well the power top works on 981's and 718's, 9 or 10 seconds up to 31mph.
