I love the car! It’s so capable and fun to drive. That said, I am excited for the 992 coming - trying to figure out if I want to do blue again or lizard green. What is your spec like? |

2019- it has arrived at san diego port and exited pdi, awaiting transport to dealership. PDK, PSE, RAS, FAL, PASM sport, LED/PDLS, premium pack, sport chrono, 18 way seats, carrara white, etc. Your spec? I debated getting a 992, but here are the negatives for me: -increased size -increased weight (nearly same as f80) -nubbin for shifter no longer shifts manually - clamshell spoiler looks like trunk is left open -loss of analog gauges -minimal increase in power -interior looks plasticky -silly door handles -increase in price! I think waiting til the .2 would be best, considering the hybrid may be coming.

I debated back and forth with carrara white and normal white, and ended up with carrara white, my dad has this on his cayenne. I see we have very similar builds lol. I am hoping to keep this one for a long time. just love the way the 991.2 looks vs the new one. fyi- 991.2 s w pdk and cc brakes weighs approx 33xx per car and driver. the new 992 adds about 120 lbs to this which brings it to about 35xx lbs, which the m3 is about 150 lbs more. this spoiler from porsche does fix the clamshell look of the 992:

Have you seen the top view of the 992?! Like a modern 993. Also wait until you see what Porsche exclusive has in store... This car is going to be another game changer like the 991 and this is only the entry level stuff. I also don’t think those weights are correct or are out of context. Porsche NA says 3382 for the S and 3487 for the 4S. The last time I saw a dct m3 it was just under 3700 lbs so it’s still quite a bit heavier (in line with the 300-400) and doesn’t even have awd. If the new G series gets the auto and awd it will push 4000 lbs and that is 400-600 lbs heavier. A lot of the new regulations are adding weight too. So when do you take delivery? |

That's a long story. The car is one month early, it was completed a few days earlier at the factory and made an earlier ship. This is actually bad for me.
I had an agreement with the wife on delivery, it has to do with the x5m lease being not due til June. I am purchasing the 911, so there is not the issue of 2 leases, but I cannot justify the waste of returning a car I am paying for so many months earlier than planned. So it may sit at the dealership's garage structure for several weeks unless I can work something else out. We'll see if my SA is willing to be accommodating so I can work out something with the wife.
