Anyone else get banned from the G8X section for making fun of its looks?

Just picked this up. I’ve never owned a GT car before. 992 version makes this look pretty tame in comparison. Still amazing in isolation. Reminds me of a modern, reliable 430 Scuderia. Porsche’s on top of their game right now.

Congrats. Did you keep your TT's?

Thank you!

Turbo S is gone. I miss it. It took a few days to recalibrate my right foot to the new, tamer reality. Additionally, the 992 is simply a more comfortable, better equipped, and better appointed street driving machine that asserts its utter dominance of the road in a quiet, confident way, of which I grew quite fond.

The counterpoint is that high-revving 4.0 NA engine. It's a different kind of "wow," though with similar high merit.

The proper garage configuration contains both of these cars. I'm on the list for a 992.2 Turbo S.

You also had a TT too. The road presence is incredible. Enjoy

Dainese did it to me again.

I had been wanting a D-Air suit for years and years, but the expense held me back. Then the new Misano 3 D-Air (..airbag suit) came out. I was lusting for it! Dainese put up a 48-hour 20% off sale yesterday and I had to pull the trigger. Soooooo I guess I’ve just upgraded right along with the black/flou red Dainese Axial 2 boots I posted a few days ago. I also picked up another set of gloves: Dainese Steel Pro-In (…just one level below my Full Metal 6’s).

Yeah, that was what always held me back. I figured it’s now or never. My first Dainese suit was a very lightly worn Gran Prêmio that was a demo suit. I purchased it at Dainese Costa Mesa. Then I moved to a Laguna Seca D1 in 2018. This Misano 3 D-Air Will be the last suit I buy.

Hey guys, I’m debating selling my T back to a Porsche dealer and getting a spring ‘25 delivery of a gts4 at msrp. Main factors for me are the the front/rear LWG glass recall on my T(not inspected yet) 50% break on or after testing it seems. Plus I miss the acceleration of higher hp…..

You had an issue with the glass? o.O

You mean the Cayman GTS 4.0?

Hey buddy, No it’s a potential issue with the bonding of all light weight glass from 911 builds pre November’23. 50% break on or after the inspection process. It’s a Carrera 992.2 4gts. Might as well!

I would do it bro. Your concerns are the same as mine, which is why I didn’t opt for the LW glass when I ordered my car in 2021. Porsche LW glass issues have been going on for years and it doesn’t give the owner confidence.

If not more when you add on basic options.

Mine is $185k no buckets, so my 3 year old can go on drives with me. I built out a new T as how I would do it second time around $166k. Prices are just absurd, but as we know nothing goes down if people keep buying them. Look at the f’n dot 2 GT cars msrp up $40k!!!

Yes and he is very generous. I couldn't see his other car as it was being painted in the other hangar. Take pics the next time you go there. That should be
