They really shouldn't let people test drive a Porsche

This was the other car I really wanted back in 2014-15 when I bought my M4, but I really couldn’t afford one, nor even find one. This is pretty much the exact build I ran probably a hundred times on the Porsche configurator. Lava orange, aerocup kit, manual, PASM, etc. This one has a few extras I wouldn’t have ordered like moonroof and special interior details to bring it to a $147K MSRP. My dream builds usually ended up around $135K. More details to come, but for now you’ll have to excuse me since I need to go drive my slow Porsche.

Gorgeous car and great choice! I like Orange and the GTS with aero . . . does not get much better for street and with a back seat.

Congrats on getting the last n/a flat-6 non-GT 911. You sound like a track rat so you might as well start calling around for GT3 allocations now. after getting bit by that Porsche track bug, you'll probably be itching to upgrade in 6-12 months |

Beautiful car OP, I had a 2015 GTS at one point as well. I love Lava orange. Also, I think when you have either the Aerokit Cup or ducktail, the larger painted air vents are standard (vs. the black ones that come with the non-tailed GTSs). Something to do with the difference in aero I believe. Either way, they look great and I'm a big fan of the Aerokit.

Amazing car congrats! Are the clear tail lights standard or an option? Not sure I like the look of them but it's a small detail on an amazing machine.

Holy shit great find man. Love the aero kit that thing looks sick. First mod I did when I got my S was add a AWE switchpath. Your GTS will sound like a cup car with the valves open. A must add imo.
I have both a F80 and a 991.1 and I love my F80 as a DD but the 911 is just sublime. For sheer smiles and thrill factor there's nothing like taking that flat 6 to redline esp with a proper exhaust. Enjoy in good health. |

Congrats, car looks awesome.
I’d be curious to know the real end to end costs of tracking a 911, don’t be a stranger, come back to give us a report in a few months.

My years of tracking and racing has taught me that high corner exit speed is the most important attribute of a good track car. I think Porsche has something here. As far as I know, the guy ordered the white tail lights from factory. I'll get some pictures of the gawdy interior sometime for you guys.

Those saying Porsches don't handle well or are handicapped because of the rear engine layout either don't have any experience in them or have no car control skills. 911 platform is a dream to drive for the exact reasons you just mentioned and why they have always been at or near the top of their race classes since the 70s. The modern 911s turn in very well now removing the need for trail braking to get the air cooled's to turn, but again we are talking about basic care control skills and car that carries the most speed out of corners for that all important speed down long straights. |
