I saw it in person, washed out like SALMON.

The reality is that in-car stereos benefit from the kind of processing that Bose does. Does Bose produce fake sound? Sure. But the car environment is terrible, and basically requires heavy adjustment below super high volumes.

The Bose system in the 991 is the single worst car stereo system I've ever come across. There are a ton of threads on Rennlist about how shrill the tweeters are.

I've upgraded my tweeters to something that was softer/less harsh and it made a nice improvement. I've heard the Burmeister is more pleasant, but I would not pay for a Porsche Bose system. Perhaps its better in the Boxster/Cayman vs the 911.

Yeah I happened to watch that as well. When you think about it, the logic makes a lot of sense. What do most of us want out of the GT3? The fact that it's a naturally aspirated flat six that can rev to 9k and is available w/ a manual. The GT4 (and now GTS 4.0), give you maybe 90% of that experience for 1/2 the money.

Like some here I'd take mine in Boxster GTS form specced like this:

I also kind of like that w/ Boxster/Cayman you can kind of fly under the radar...most people wouldn't guess that they are 100k cars. I admit that i have soft spot for the 911 shape, and backseats (but of course those aren't even available in any GT3).

Still wrong.

I saw it in person and did not like it because I thought it was too washed out.

FTFY

If we could get JV back into a droptop, your spec could be one we all agree upon to share.

That is a really nice looking car.

Nice specs, everyone. I'm torn between carmine red with black top and interior vs. some sort of silver (I know I know) but with a more interesting interior.

JV - the yellow with black interior is really awesome

I like carmine red since it’s the 992 GTS press car that is on all of the channels right now.

Probably the only color I don’t like is that chalk color because it seems trendy at the moment

Carmine does nothing for me. Probably totally unrelated, my mom drove a Volvo 240 for years that was essentially that same color.
