Are you going to track the car a lot?
Yes, get Buckets No, get adjustable seat
What’s it say in your manual?
Most modern porsche taking 0 w 40
If a car engine is really worn, soon say go one grade heavier.
Not. I don’t get any squeak.
I have pccb… they’re great. Low brake dust, good stopping power, look great.
On your wheels… I really like the look of the spyder wheels, but i think cleaning them will be hard. I have the Carrera classic wheels, which have grown on me. They’re easy to clean, and show more brakes.
Just know that braking power not that different. Two things about pccb: better heat management on the track, not so important on the street, and longer wear. Braking power more limited by tires.
I doubt you can notice much difference street driving, since it’s lunacy to approach the car’s capacity on the road. Straight line horse power excepting.
On the track, yes, higher trims, later models will out perform.
And tires. Tires and driver skill are often more limiting than the car.
In Texas state inspection has a fixed cost, no appointment, fast turnaround, all by texas LAW. Check your local jurisdiction.
so i take it to a porsche dealer. I don’t worry about it.
my guess around $120k USD equivalent, or more. I couldn’t find a 4S, but here is a turbo at $249k. the turbos are much more expensive than the other trims.
I used to live in the valley long ago. Loved the mountain roads. Tujunga canyon, azusa highway. Etc. PCH is nice too. Sadly, no porsche at the time. But I did have a 1982 celica gt with 5spd manual.
Just a track number for going to track events. Either reusable or normal vinyl, just a stick on.
Id only be concerned, not looks as I would track it. I don’t care how “cool” it looks. I don’t daily my gt4, because I think a winged car on the road is stupid and pretentious. I would never buy a gt car as a street car, never mind as a daily. Fun drives, sure, canyon carving, etc cars and coffee. The gt4 sits in the garage waiting for its next track day. I can’t imagine a 991 beating a 992 on track, stock setup, same driver same conditions same tires. I want the 992 gt3, and if the rs wasn’t stupidly over priced I’d get one of them. Right now, I’m waiting for the market to soften, and I’ll run out and get the gt3.
Get a nice 911 base or s, of the last couple gens, 992, 991, and do a small amount of track prep (brake fluid, newish uhp summer tires, check brakes). If you want a manual, you’ll need the s in a 992, not sure about the 991. Go to a few hpde per year with pca or some of the other groups, etc. You’ll have a blast. The 911 will make a nicer daily than a cayman, though the cayman is not bad for that either. I see lots of cayman and Carrera at the track. If you take suv to the track, everyone will think you’re in the way, because you’ll be slow. I tracked my 992 carrera a few times, and it performs really well. Personally, I wouldn’t want to track just any car, and porsche are largely track capable without a lot of work. There are other cars that are popular and can be quite track capable so you don’t have to close the book on them. Miata, brz, bmw, etc.
Tracks costs vary, insurance varies with covered value. Tires need to be changed more frequently, as well brakes, fluids, etc… so your looking between 500 to 1000 per day all in depending on the car (other makes still be cheaper) I insure 130k for a gt4, single event cover around 700usd. I buy annual at about 5500. I go through tires pretty quick, 8 days per set is not a bad rule of thumb. Brakes a couple times a year, but I’m doing 10 or more events. I don’t daily the gt4.
If you get the bug, you can consider a more track focused car, additional mods, especially suspension/camber.
PEC is really expensive by comparison. If you drove a cayman and a 911 there you might have a good idea which car you might like better. PCE isn’t really a venue for repeated track days.
NASA, SCCA, PCA, drivers edge, etc. Run hpde year round depending on climate.
The only real alternative to hpde is autocross or time attack, but that’s competition.
Supply chain problems likely
The fact you have a confirmed order is all you need to grateful for, now just relax, and check the web page once every hour until delivery…
Defrost
Could go above the engine cover if small and in a soft carrier. In theory there are tie downs could be used
Why? What is the point?
It kinda smacks of “what can we change to make it look different?”.
Can’t say I like it or not, given other comments “everything new sucks” or “yeah like awesome”
I will say, it looks interesting. Has possibilities…
I’m guessing that’s a aero package carrera based on the little wing?
Funny it doesn’t happen on my Ford, haven’t tried the tundra…
I didn’t do the reboot I between, but I might just try again. The definition of insanity…
There are no 992.2 anything, they at not in manufacture yet
Opf delete is a popular mod to increase power and/or sound. Not sure if the efficacy, though. My race shop says most power is gotten from the header mods.
