Lol, Porsche Party over here!

For the last 20 years I thought water cooled Porsches were “the devil”, that they had no soul. Boy was I wrong! I could not have been more wrong. What an absolute pleasure to drive. Love the PDK rev matching downshifts, power, a/c, so many things.

There is still something visceral about shifting gears with my 86 Targa’s 915 gear box that can’t be reproduced. Same goes for the performance on my 1989 930. My 930 has an upgraded turbo and flow through exhaust. It whistles like an old Cummins big cam at idle. That sound always puts a smile on anyone’s face that hears it. There are still many things intuitively similar even though these models are over 30 years apart.

So glad I took the plunge and happy to be a member of the 992 club.

These 992’s are really fun and amazing machines and love my manual…good group of folks here too if/when questions arise!

Welcome AC and that gorgeous fleet! And we have another garage for our upcoming coffee table book! Love the poster too.

Just thinking out loud but if the coffee table book works out my Amplifier Fridge could be the cover shot?

Beautiful color combination. I bet you it turns heads everywhere it goes. 🤩

Where can I find the build number? Is it on the sticker? I did not build mine. I went to my closest dealer and they wanted an obscene amount of additional dealer markup on anything ordered. Zero inventory. I walked out and visited another dealer. This car had just arrived. From what the rep told me it was some type of surprise allocation, and Porsche sent it to them with only a few days notice. I was at the right place at the right time. I got it at MSRP.

That coffee table book idea sounds cool!

Thank you! Just yesterday there was a young kid filming me from his car window down the Pa Turnpike with some thumbs up. Glad he didn’t crash or worse hit me! Anyway, the dealer should have the build number if THEY built it. If they didn’t Porsche should have something. I don‘t remember if its on the window sticker.
