It’s a slippery slope.

I just want to remind you all that when people can drive the 991.2 (2017-2019) GT3 to compare with the 992 (current gen) they all talk about the front end feeling quite different.

And they did significantly (for Porsche) upgrade the front suspension setup.

So I guess that would nag at me. To pay $200,000 for a car when I know the 992 variant is just designed better. And lord knows if that 4.2L engine will be used for the 992.2 GT3. Likely yes.

Seems about right? I don't follow 991 PDK values that closely.

Yes, the new norm for 911s from 997.2-on. I do not really follow PDK values either, but manual 911s are allegedly a 10%+ add these days.

Sweet! I do miss having a convertible. Although, it's been horribly hot in ATL all summer. I will have one again at some point--probably the last fun car I buy. Z4 is in the sights.

Beautiful pictures, I think that is one of the first times I have ever seen a picture of your car with the roof up except now that I think about it I believe you took a picture of the car in the garage in hibernation.

True. I only put it up for that picture to highlight the brown contrast. It immediately went back down.
