My new 911 Carrera S (pic heavy)

bigsix · 12-02-2012, 10:00 AM

I like the "911" emblem in place of 911 Carrera S . . .

I'm surprised you still want to keep the Z after purchasing a 991

Well as I said, I do need two cars as I am living in two different states. Traveling between the two very very often (for work). Either way it will be sold before the residual is due, or once I can settle down in a single city (which won't be anytime soon). Oh and the Z is already paid for, so I'm not loosing that much money sitting on the Z.
But yes I agree on the '911' instead of the '911 carrera s' which is just way too much writing. I would prefer 911 S though, maybe I'll remove the emblems and redo them.

It looks like you've been driving AWD cars , but now you just have rwd. Do you miss that awd grip/handling, or is it just much nicer having the agility and precision of the throttle/rear end ? . .

I absolutely love RWD for the street. It's much more intuitive. Not to mention I love ruining my tires by getting on the throttle mid turn with traction off

. And I feel like the dive in through turns is more sharp in RWD setups (from what I've experienced). That being said, I feel a bit safer in AWD setups on the street, and could imagine feeling even safer in a Carrera 4S, knowing that if I mess up the car will fix my mistakes. But the Evo n STi I had were so different from the Z. I had my real fun in those on sand, not on the street. I have actually never driven an AWD sports car (rally cars are not sport cars..) so I can't comment on the difference too much. Perhaps I need to test drive a C4S when they get to the dealers to really see the difference.

Oh and my other option I was choosing from was the GTR!

I'm actually considering getting the Porsche aerokit which looks somewhat like that! I'm going to try to enjoy it stock for the time being though.

And to those who thought the break in on our cars was hard to go through, it's KILLING me with the Porsche! Especially with me being away from home so much, I need to spend all my time whenever I'm in SD driving the car.

Thanks again everyone for all your awesome comments!

I also found an awesome rear diffuser with an undertray (I love diffusers), which costs north of 3000!
It's funny how parts on this car are so much more expensive than parts on the Z (even though z aftermarket parts have great quality). For example, there are many exhaust systems that cost about 7K. The power kit from Porsche which adds 30hp costs 18k! (although it does include sport chrono package and he Porsche sport exhaust). But damn!

Marti · 12-06-2012, 10:40 AM

hell yeah, man! Congrats.

nmjaxx9 · 12-06-2012, 09:33 PM

Gorgeous car.
Hit me up if you end up wanting exhaust. We developed intake, headers and a couple different exhaust configs for the 991.
