I don't have a lot of pictures . The sun was so bright so picture quality is not perfect. I did manage to take a short drive and get a taste of the new car . Sheesh !! Its very nice . Its right now at PPF . More later . Need rest !!
I look as wiped out as I feel Its been extremely exciting and I am up way past my sleep time but I am on to the next journey .
In my brief drive the car is a monster . It handles like its on rails . The suspension is much more firm than the 991.2 which I happen to like . It handles like its on rails . The lightweight package keeps outside ambient noise out but lets the exhaust roar note in. Its intense !! Less than 30 miles and I am totally blown away . More to come .

Now, have some sleep and then keep posting your comments about the handling of the "monster"! I'm especially curious about the suspension. Guess everybody chose the SPASM? I have read just about everything about SPASM and even if it comes "almost" for free in a bundle, I finally didn't pick it. As discussed on another thread, my car will really be a daily (to and from work), never to be tracked and the roads here are just terrible with potholes as big as chickens (that's why they're called "nid de poule" in french (chicken nest"" here in Montreal!!! Often enough, they're more like "dino nests"!!! LOL!
I had SPASM on my last car . This car really is the next step . I asked on Rennlist and one guy said its on par with his former Gt3 suspension . I happen to like that but I was surprised . There are so many huge leaps on this car . I had always thought it would be more like a 991.3 . Instead it's the real deal !!!
I have a question regarding the PASM Sport suspension (Lowered 10 mm), an option that just about everybody gets but that I didn't check even if it's part of a "package" and very reasonably priced.. As you know, the PASM is standard on the 992 so that option is just for the 10 mm lowering. So the...
So I went back to track your dream just now out of curiosity. I spent so much time there over the last few months that I almost felt like saying goodbye. This is what it said.
Hood, fenders and mirrors are done . He sent me a photo of his son (they work together) working on the bumper this afternoon. Then comes polish , paint correction , and ceramic .

I looked at my Macan and yes indeed my headlights have film on them. No issues thus far. And this was dealer recommended. Car looks beautiful, did I say this already?😃
I also had no chips . Thats part of why I never did film . On the black Turbo I did get 2 or 3 in 15 years but Chino fixed them . I got them mostly driving I 95 back when my mom was alive to visit her with an occasional Sunday drive with my wife to Delay Beach . My mom passed in 09 and I haven't been to Delray in ages . Without 95 its no chips . This XPEL thing is mostly experimentation .
Yep! You avoided quite a bit of torture having to decide between the two. LOL! Since I wasn’t able to drive both, I had to go with what I read. And since « the 992 has a tighter suspension over the 991.2 », I decided to skip that option…for more « comfort ». But maybe I was wrong. 🤷🏻♂️
@LessKrazy1 Do you wanna meet tomorrow morning when I pick up my car and see for yourself about the suspension as well as the car? I’m going to be just learning it myself. You’re welcome to join me if you’re in Miami. I thought you were in Ontario.
I know after 5 tests that its not Covid . Its not the flu because I never had fever. Its like having the flu with no fever where I feel like I have been run over by a bulldozer . This really sucked ! I a hoping to get out soon .
New to this forum, really enjoyed reading this thread. Sold my beautiful Sapphire blue GT4 about 16months ago after 31/2 years ownership. Put a deposit down on a 992 - after quite a wait it should be in the dealership next week. Getting quite excited now. This will be my fifth Porsche, but first 911. I’m based in the UK. Kind regards.
