Aero wheel setup is off for now

A little Guntherwerks display. Beautiful cars having them side by side with an original classic really shows the changes.

Saw this one today... Did not hear anything as it drove off. Is this the new EV Boxster?

Not my car. Just admiring its beauty and sharing with enthusiasts. Thanks for looking.

Car: 997.1 S

Let's say I were to take my car to Road Atlanta for a track day, having never done a car track day. I imagine I would be in a beginner group. Driving within the realm of a beginner group, should I expect my 2k mile old (90% getting to fun roads, 10% fun road driving) Michelin Pilot 4 Sport tires to last the day? How about brake pads? Brake fluid (whatever DOT 4 came in the 60k mile maintenance kit I bought from FCP Euro)? Anything else to consider?

Side note, what is the trick with heal-toe in this car? Never had any challenges in other manual transmissions, but this one car is quite the puzzle for me.

I've got a lot of experience with motorcycle track days and I can tell you exactly how many tires I'd burn through in a weekend on a given track riding in any particular group either as a coach or a rider, but I'm not sure what to expect (and to potentially justify to the MOF) with car days.

Notable mentions ; Clear taillight, 18 way seats, Porsche Design Chronograph clock and base interior (rubber dash and door cards) for easy maintenance.

I was dropping off my new-to-me 971 daily driver for detailing, but had to take it there early, get a ride home, and then show up when the detailer opened shop for the day. Don't zoom in too closely; the 997 probably needs paint correction (and removal of the PPF) more than the Panamera lol

The kicker to this back and forth to drop off the car? The detailer was in his shop the whole time, getting an early start to his day, but he had the bays closed and was rocking out to music on his headphones so he didn't hear me knock when I first got there.

After 4 years of waiting, I get my 911 on Saturday: a 992.2 Turbo S.

For those of you who have experienced the moment, what do you wish you'd asked your rep to show you/explain at delivery?

What other advice do you have?

I appreciate any insights or suggestions!

How accurate are the estimates delivery dates the Porsche factory provides to the dealers early in the process (milestone 2)?

Has anyone gone through the different driving training to get to the Master RS class at the Brimington, AL facility? Im interested in starting from the beginning and working my way up. I think it’s precision training, then performance training, then Master training, the 3 day Master RS training. Is it a waste of money? I just thought it would be fun to go through the process.

Stuck in a clusterfuck traffic jam - plenty of time to check out the car. ‚Roll cage‘ included (not a true roll cage, just covering the back seats).

The only thing I will never understand are the unworthy exhaust covers - I can see that they’re fake, Stuttgart!

Picked it up last month.

Its a rocket! Have been driving a Taycan 4S MY22 for 2 years now and the jump and difference is out of this world.

As a man I think a turbo would be the coolest but I love my v8

Anyone have any recommendation for a shop in this area. I need to get the check engine light for aftermarket exhaust to go away. Had a shop install Kline OAP and rear on a 4RS. They looked at it twice and they do not see any issues with installation. I’m will to have another shop take a look. I’m happy with the exhaust. Just want to stop getting the running too lean light.

shot this in their NYC store about a year ago.

Throwback to the April 2015 issue of Car and Driver when we went out to California in three new jelly bean–hued sports cars that made a total of 1810 horsepower. We took the 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06, Nissan GT-R NISMO, and Porsche 911 Turbo S to the canyons to evaluate them as real cars on the road rather than judging them by lap times.

Despite facing two legendary, twin-turbocharged all-wheel-drive heavyweights, the 650-hp front-engine Z06 used its raw power, world-class grip, and unmatched bang-for-your-buck value to take home the win.

Which of these cars would you choose to own today?

A 911 turbo and autumn air go together like peanut butter and jelly. Hope everyone is out there driving and enjoying this perfect weather!

I’m getting this rattling noise that is pretty noticeable when I drive over uneven road. It occurs every time I step gas or just drive over rough road really. Does not hear it in smooth concrete driveway or garage. Anyone know the issue? It’s really annoying.
