Sold the E92, bought a 991S!

dgoldenz · 05-31-2016, 12:29 PM

After test driving a 991S and Cayman GTS a few months ago I was pretty much sold on the idea of getting one of them. I actually thought the Cayman was a little more fun than the 991S (plus that exhaust...

) but the market for the GTS has gone up by ~$5k when Spring arrived and I was having a hard time finding a car with the options I wanted at any type of reasonable price.

I actually bought another 991S at a steal of a price and sold it for a decent profit, but this one will be a keeper, at least until I get the itch for something else (probably a GT3 when I can afford it). Going to have to get a new exhaust though, the stock one is way too quiet for my taste.

Previous owner put a full TechArt body kit on and the car is pretty well loaded. The interior with full leather is miles ahead of the M3, which was pretty nice itself but aging a bit. The handling with PDCC is incredible. I do still miss the E92 a bit, I may buy another one at some point in the future.

Beautiful.
How would you compare it in terms of low end power to the e92?

Gorgeous car, congrats on the upgrade. I think long term plan for me is to upgrade to a Cayman GTS down the road

That's beautiful! Love the body kit!

Congrats man you will love it

991GT3 · 05-31-2016, 02:54 PM

Congrats! Looks fantastic!

Congrats, does look nice but won't blow one ///M's door off.
Just enjoy it and definately have fun with it.
Really honestly a VERY good looking ride!
Now that you upgraded to a Porsche, I would be really curious to know if Carly
also works the same as it does for BMW.

Haven't had that much driving time yet because of the DMV being a pain, but the car is lighter so it feels more powerful and I believe it has about 30 more lb/ft TQ than the M3.

The Cayman GTS is a badass ride, don't make the mistake of test driving it...

Thanks, I think the TechArt kit looks better than the factory aerokit.
