To be honest, if the Carrera S is as fast as I know it is, I could loosen my grip on the GT3. There’s a lot of if’s there. The only thing I can say about my 2018 Carrera T is that it was adequate power if I shifted the hell out of it. But the gap between that 991.2 base powerplant and the 991.2 Turbo S is vast. And i wanted something closer to the middle but with a manual. My current thinking right now is sell my GT3 6 speed and try to get on a list for a 992.2 Speedster. Or buy a CPO 911 Sport Classic.

The last gen Speedster is the only 911 after the 997 that really interests me

Dude.
They’re still asking over $400,000. And they’re all 5 years old now. It’s incredible. That’s why I’m trying to just get a new one. If they’re going to cost that much, I’ll try for new then. Fine.

I guess at one time Spike and Zuckerman owned a 991 Speedster, but they apparently did not care for it that much and cut it loose pretty quickly. Not all that surprising as they kind of have car ADD.
Edit: Which by the way, I suspect I might now have myself. Last edited by SCA; Yesterday at 09:50 PM. |

Sean, this completely sucks you are thinking of getting rid of it, forget the break in and just drive the freakin thing, it might change your mind.
You have barely gotten to know this car and I really doubt redline will be hurting it at 600 miles. Porsches change a lot at the upper end of the rpm’s. Just floor it and go from there and I know you’re going to respond that Porsche can see it …. Whoop Dee do … you paid $140k just drive it already. |
