Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

The on paper specifications sound amazing, 420BHP, 3.9s 0-62mph, 4WS, seems the new Carrera can pretty much be specified with options to be very similar to a GT car without the crazy premiums.

Also twin turbo 3l, for those who are not so bothered about warranty can see these things tuning immensely and no doubt safely.

What I did not see is engine configuration, what are they flat 4, flat 6?

Still think I prefer the idea of the original 3.6/3.8l NA engines even if they are slower.

So true. These things will get rapped!

So I've just read the new 911s will be turbocharged....

How long do you think it'll be before we start seeing Tuned Carreras obliterating standard 911 Turbos on YouTube?

I suspect Porsche will actually make that a bit challenging.

Hopefully by making the next 911 turbo a monster, rather than gimping the 991.2 carreras

 

[Housey]

The current Turbo S is epic.

Indeed, there is still a huge gap in power before you even chuck in the extra tech 4wd etc. 997.2 is going to be an absolute monster.

In short avoid Tiptronic and the older 2004/2005 cars like the plague. If you can get a 2006 built car with PSE and other good options it will hold value better.

Thanks buddy! Here's hoping I can find something that ticks all the boxes

This new 991.2 is very tempting especially if the 991.1 prices firm us a bit more but I would really like a 458 and its around the same sort of money after you add spec.

Man made it, man can break it.

Need some new rears, cheapest place for 285/30/18, usually get Michelin PS2s. Camskill coming back at £176 per tyre.

PSS not available?

Nope, it's basically P-Zero, CS2 or PS2.

Ouch they are all so old! Just go with 295/30/18 then?

They're just the same selection by the looks of things.

 

[theone8181]

PS2 all the way, thats what ive got on the back of my turbo in 295/30/18. Michelin say theres no plans for PSS in this size

 

[SoliD]

Out of the options I have I would always go PS2, for most of my driving they're absolutely fine, and they last an age.

I've just been watching a few sound clips on the new 991.2 and they sound gooooood!!!!

Also on another note, I had my OPC phone me at the weekend to see if I was interested in selling my car as I was offered pretty much the same money for it as I paid. So there must be a good demand for the GTS's at the mo.

I'd say so, a GTS with buckets, PSE, PDK Sports or Manual still an epic car!

Oh Miami Blue does look nice!!!

Great car, loved the one I borrowed for a bit. Felt at home in it very quickly and could get it sliding around very easily.

Oh you missed PTV.
